0x21F7

0x21F7 refers to the Unicode code point U+21F7, a single character in the Arrows block of the Unicode standard. Like other arrow symbols, the exact appearance of this character depends on the font and rendering system used.

The glyph represented by U+21F7 is an arrow symbol, and its semantic meaning is not fixed by Unicode itself. In practice, its interpretation is determined by the context in which it appears, such as mathematical notation, logic diagrams, or technical documents. Because fonts vary, some renderings may emphasize a single shaft, while others may include additional arrowheads or styling differences.

Encoding and representations: In UTF-8, the code point U+21F7 encodes to the byte sequence E2 9F B7. In UTF-16, it can be represented as 0x21F7 in big-endian form or 0xF7 0x21 in little-endian form. In UTF-32, it is 0x000021F7. In HTML, the character can be referenced with a numeric character reference like ⇷ or ⇷.

Usage notes: As with many Unicode arrow symbols, 0x21F7 is primarily used in technical and mathematical contexts. Its exact meaning is not universally standardized and can vary by discipline, font, and author. It is typically employed as a graphical indicator of a relation, mapping, or directional concept within a broader notation system.
