The ⇖ (North West Double Arrow) symbol features a double-struck shaft pointing toward the upper-left corner. It belongs to the standard Unicode Arrows block and frequently appears in mathematical notation, formal logic, and technical diagrams to indicate direction or specific variable mappings. Thanks to its bold, double-lined appearance, it easily draws attention to important elements in charts, graphs, or user interfaces.
