U+21D2 · Arrows

Double Right Arrow ⇒

The rightwards double arrow is the everyday symbol for "implies" or "therefore" in logic and mathematics, as in P ⇒ Q. Students and engineers also use it as shorthand in notes and meeting minutes to link a cause to a consequence, and it shows up in textbooks to mark each step of a derivation.

Good to know

Don’t mix it up: Do not mix it up with the single-line → (U+2192), which usually means "maps to" or "tends to" rather than logical implication.

Tip: The named HTML entity ⇒ produces this arrow in any web page.

Display: the character itself is always the same code point, but its shape comes from the font on the device showing it. If you see an empty box, the font lacks this glyph—the text is still correct.
