U+2195 Up Down Arrow
U+2195 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block Arrows in the 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. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it acts as Other Neutral. When changing direction it is not mirrored. If its East Asian Width is “narrow”, U+2195 forms a word with similar characters, which prevents a line break inside it. Otherwise it allows line breaks around it, except in some numeric contexts. The glyph can be confused with one other glyph.
The CLDR project calls this character “up-down arrow” for use in screen reading software. It assigns these additional labels, e.g. for search in emoji pickers: arrow, up-down.
This character is designated as an emoji. It will be rendered as monochrome character on conforming platforms. To enable colorful emoji display, you can combine it with Variation Selector-16: ↕️ See the Emojipedia for more details on this character’s emoji properties.
