Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Math Source: Browser Default

U+21A1 "" Downwards Two Headed Arrow is a typographical symbol classified under the Arrows block, representing a vertical arrow with two arrowheads pointing downward. Unlike a standard single-headed down arrow, this glyph is often used in technical notation, mathematics, or diagramming to indicate a dual or redundant downward direction, movement, or flow. Its design features two distinct arrowheads stacked along the same line, which can signify a stronger emphasis, a double functionality, or a shift between multiple states in specialized contexts such as electronic schematics, logical diagrams, or older computing interfaces where standard arrow symbols were insufficient.
