Double right arrowhead?

[Joao S. O. Bueno]

I just went to check, I am really surprised that what are now
recognized as de facto
symbols for media reproducing control had not been encoded - not even
as emoji's.

I was expecting to find something similar to  ">>" as "Fast Forward"
or similar, as one can see in
every media player, physical or in software, along with the symbols
for "rewind", "play", "pause".

Maybe starting a pledge to encode these with semantic meaning for
forward and backward (for the
visual glyphs ">>" and "<<") could be a thing, indeed - since none of
the tens of right-pointing arrows listed by James above seems
to convey the forward meaning.
