left-right arrow
A horizontal arrow pointing in both directions, representing movement, exchange, or a relationship between two sides
Meaning
A horizontal arrow pointing in both directions, representing movement, exchange, or a relationship between two sides. It commonly signals a two-way process, such as a round trip, mutual transfer, or bidirectional link. In conversation it often stands in for "between," "back and forth," or "on both sides," and can mark a range or correspondence. It also appears in technical or instructional contexts to indicate reversibility or two-way flow. Usage can be ambiguous, since it may denote either a literal direction or a more abstract connection, so context usually clarifies intent.
