Vertical equivalent to dlrarrow missing
Last modified: 2013-02-07 22:33:56 UTC
I think there is a need for an upwards-downwards-facing double arrow, i. e. a vertical equivalent to dlrarrow. I need it in situations where you would want to place to equations on top of each other rather than next to each other, for example: a*b=c newline dudarrow newline c over b=a In contrast to a*b=c dlrarrow c over b=a It shouldn't more than taking the dlrarrow, rotating it and putting it under the name "dudarrow" or something similar.
Such a symbol is not available aÃn any default Symbol font like OpenSymbol or MS's Symbol. Must be created from the scratch.
You can use "Lucida Sans", which is delivered with the JRE. The symbol is U+21D5.
I don't think a simple arrow should be dependant on the JRE, should it? Besides, how hard is it to create this from a rotated version of dlrarrow?
