U+2922 "⤢" North East and South West Arrow Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+2922 "⤢" North East and South West Arrow is a typographic symbol representing a bidirectional arrow that points simultaneously toward the upper-right (north east) and lower-left (south west) directions, typically indicating movement, flow, or alignment along that diagonal axis. It belongs to the Supplemental Arrows-B block, which was introduced in Unicode version 3.2 to provide additional arrow symbols for mathematical notation, diagramming, and technical documentation. This character is often used in contexts such as physics to denote vector directions, in computer science for data flow diagrams, or in linguistics to signify a bidirectional relationship along the southeast-northwest axis. Its design consists of two opposing arrowheads set at a 45-degree angle, with a single continuous line connecting them, visually representing both duality and connection in a compact graphical form.
