The ↡ (downwards two-headed arrow) symbol features a vertical stem pointing downward with two stacked arrowheads. Originally part of the Unicode Arrows block, it is frequently used in digital user interfaces to signify a "scroll to bottom" or "page down" action. Mathematicians also utilize double-headed arrows in category theory to denote epimorphisms, representing surjective functions in vertical diagrams.
