History & usage: RIGHTWARDS TWO-HEADED ARROW WITH TAIL WITH VERTICAL STROKE is a symbol in the Supplemental Arrows-B block. Its code point is U+2917 and it belongs to the Common script. It has two heads pointing to the right, a tail, and a vertical stroke. This design helps show bidirectional or nuanced direction in one icon. In use, arrows commonly indicate direction and navigation cues in interfaces and documents. This helps users understand flow, steps, or choices at a glance. The symbol appears in digital text to convey multiple possible directions without changing the line of text. It is part of a family of arrows used for diagrams, maps, and schematics. Designers pick it when a single glyph can express more than one forward path. The character supports clear communication in lists, instructions, and UI layouts. Systems that render this character do so as a single unit, not as separate pieces. The symbol is one option among many for showing direction and movement in a compact form.
Copy and input: the quickest method is to copy the character here. You can also insert it by its codepoint U+2917
in many development tools or editors. Some operating systems provide a character viewer or input palette that lets you search by name or code and insert the glyph into documents.
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.
