U+21CE Left Right Double Arrow with Stroke

U+21CE was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block U+2190 to U+21FF Arrows in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Math Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is a canonical composition of the glyphs Left Right Double Arrow, Combining Long Solidus Overlay. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+21CE forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The CLDR project calls this character “left right double arrow stroke” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: arrow, double, left, right, stroke.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

An arrow is a graphical symbol, such as ← or →, or a pictogram, used to point or indicate direction. In its simplest form, an arrow is a triangle, chevron, or concave kite, usually affixed to a line segment or rectangle, and in more complex forms a representation of an actual arrow (e.g. ➵ U+27B5). The direction indicated by an arrow is the one along the length of the line or rectangle toward the single pointed end.
