How to type Updownarrow

Write \updownarrow inside math mode, that is between $…$ for inline math or in a \[ … \] or equation block for display math. It is part of core LaTeX math, so no extra package is required.

Arrows are relations in LaTeX, so \updownarrow gets the same thick spacing as an equals sign. With unicode-math under XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, typing ↕ in a formula gives the same symbol.

$A \updownarrow B$A↕BA \updownarrow BA↕B
