Tenga en cuenta que el archivo Unicode NamesList tiene estos comentarios:

* fonts may harmonize this glyph with the style for other black arrows
x (leftwards black arrow - 2B05)
⬅ 2B05 LEFTWARDS BLACK ARROW

Así que dice que las fuentes son bienvenidos, pero no obligación, de hacer que se parecen a las otras flechas negras. Así es como para comprobar todas las flechas negras using the uninames script:
$ uninames BLACK WARDS ARROW
➡ 27A1 BLACK RIGHTWARDS ARROW
* fonts may harmonize this glyph with the style for other black arrows

Tenga en cuenta también que estos puntos de código no se marcan como bidi-espejo. Ellos no se dan en el archivo BidiMirroring, que tiene sólo éstos:
$ grep ARROW BidiMirroring.txt
# 29A8; MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING UP AND RIGHT
# 29A9; MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING UP AND LEFT
# 29AA; MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING DOWN AND RIGHT
# 29AB; MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING DOWN AND LEFT
# 29AC; MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING RIGHT AND UP

# 29AE; MEASURED ANGLE WITH OPEN ARM ENDING IN ARROW POINTING RIGHT AND DOWN

Si comprueba las propiedades de estos dos puntos de código using the uniprops script, verá en lo que difieren muy ligeramente:
