U+290C "⤌" Leftwards Double Dash Arrow Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+290C "⤌" Leftwards Double Dash Arrow is a typographic symbol in the Arrows block, designed to represent a leftward pointing arrow distinguished by two parallel dash like strokes through its shaft instead of a solid line. This specific design makes it useful in mathematical notation, technical diagrams, or logical expressions where a standard single arrow might be ambiguous, often indicating a less common or modified directional relationship such as a double line break or a specialized mapping in formal systems. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent representation across digital platforms, allowing precise communication in fields like computer science, mathematics, or engineering documentation where such nuanced arrows are needed.
