cheimical equation symbol

[Mathias]

Does anyone know, where I can find the "chemical equation"
symbol? I mean the two arrows facing in different
directions being on top of each other, but not with the
typical arrow tip?
Thanks
Mathias

Mathias,

I believe the font "MS Mincho", which is distributed with MS Office products
and with newer Windows operating systems, has what you are looking for.

Regards,
Chad

It's much nicer-looking in Arial Unicode MS, though.

And some characters you might look at are U+21CB, U+21CC, U+21C4, U+21C6
from the "arrows" subset.

In Word2003, you can type 21CB and then use the shortcut Alt+X to turn the
code into the character.

.... works the other way, too, if you want to know the code of some
character.

Greetings,
Klaus

There have been some good answers to this question, but no one
mentioned how to put text above and/or below the arrows (initial
conditions, catalysts, etc.). MathType lets you do this easily,
and not only has the set of arrows you asked for, but 26 more.
Check it out, including a 30-day test drive, at the link in my
sig.
