U+21D0 Leftwards Double Arrow

U+21D0 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 Other Symbol and is commonly used, that is, in no specific script.

The glyph is not a composition. 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+21D0 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The CLDR project calls this character “leftwards double arrow” for use in screen reading software.

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.
