Upwards White Double Arrow on Pedestal

The Upwards White Double Arrow on Pedestal at U+21EF is an outlined upward double arrow standing on a small base, used as a symbolic arrow rather than a letter or punctuation mark. It belongs to the Arrows block, where it sits among specialized directional symbols for diagrams, keyboard notation, and technical marking. Its most recognizable use is in keyboard-symbol sets and documentation, where upward arrows often represent Shift-related keys or vertical movement commands; this particular pedestal form is a more specialized variant rather than the everyday Shift symbol. It may appear in keycap charts, interface mockups, or legacy symbol tables when a designer needs to distinguish one upward-arrow key from another. It is also suitable in schematic diagrams, forms, and instructional graphics to mean “move up,” “raise,” “upload,” or “go to the top,” especially when a plain arrow is not visually distinctive enough. In mathematics and formal notation it has no widely standardized meaning, so any technical document using it should define the symbol locally.
