U+2B3B "⬻" Leftwards Two-Headed Arrow with Tail Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⬻
U+2B3B "⬻" Leftwards Two-Headed Arrow with Tail is a typographic symbol in the Arrows block, combining a leftward pointing double arrowhead with a tail or stem that extends to the right. Visually distinct because of its two arrowheads on the left side, it can be used in diagrams, maps, or technical notations to indicate bidirectional movement or a flow that points left but has a specific connection or source on the right. This character is primarily employed in mathematical or logical contexts, as well as in informal communication, to represent a leftward movement that is either opposed, reversible, or linked to an origin.
