Rightwards Double Arrow Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Rightwards Double Arrow because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+21D2, which you can use as ⇒ in HTML, \21D2 in CSS, or type with Alt+8658 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Rightwards Double Arrow is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+21D2 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. HTML also defines the named entity ⇒ for Rightwards Double Arrow, but the numeric form ⇒ is safer when compatibility is uncertain.
