double arrow

Two-way direction indicator

A double arrow is a symbol with arrowheads at both ends (↔), typically indicating bidirectional movement, mutual relationship, or equivalence.

In logic and mathematics, it represents "if and only if." On keyboards and interfaces, double arrows (« ») serve as navigation controls or quotation marks.

Paired single arrows (→←) pointing inward or outward also count as double arrows, suggesting compression or expansion.
