U+21DF "⇟" Downwards Arrow with Double Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+21DF "⇟" Downwards Arrow with Double Stroke is a typographic symbol that represents a downward direction with the added emphasis of a double vertical line through its shaft, distinguishing it from standard downward arrows. It belongs to the Arrows block in Unicode and is often used in technical diagrams, mathematical notation, or interface design to indicate a strong downward movement, descent, or a specific form of step-down action. The double stroke can imply increased force, stability, or a binary toggle, depending on the context, and it is not as commonly encountered as single-stroke arrows but serves a specialized role in precise visual communication.
