Long Left Right Arrow Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Long Left Right Arrow because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+27F7, which you can use as ⟷ in HTML, \27F7 in CSS, or type with Alt+10231 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Long Left Right Arrow is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+27F7 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Long Left Right Arrow has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⟷ or the hex escape ⟷.
