History & usage: The RIGHTWARDS TWO-HEADED ARROW FROM BAR is a symbol used in writing and design. Its code point is U+2905, and it appears in the Supplemental Arrows-B block. This glyph shows two arrowheads pointing right, with a bar at its tail. In practice, it signals a choice or a path that moves forward from a starting point. Designers use it to guide users along a flow, to show progression, or to indicate a transition from one state to another. In documents, the symbol can mark a direction change or a step in a sequence. It helps readers see movement without spelling out every step. The script is listed as Common, so it appears in many contexts across languages that use standard navigation cues. The symbol is most helpful when space is limited and a clear directional cue is needed. In interfaces, it can appear beside menus, progress bars, or workflow diagrams. Its two heads reinforce the idea of continuing motion, not a fixed end. Overall, the character supports fast recognition of direction and forward movement in text and visuals.

Display and fallback: if you see an empty box (tofu) or a placeholder rectangle, the active font might not include this codepoint. Switching to a font with broader Unicode coverage or using a fallback font usually fixes the issue. On the web, ensure the page’s font stack includes a general‑purpose fallback.
