Just wondering how I can produce a south-east double arrow like this:

Requires LuaLaTeX (or XeLaTeX):

documentclass{article}

usepackage{unicode-math}

begin{document}

$Searrow$

end{document}

You could also load the symbol from another font, e.g. txfonts.

documentclass{article}

DeclareSymbolFont{symbolsC}{U}{txsyc}{m}{n}

DeclareMathSymbol{Searrow}{mathrel}{symbolsC}{117}

begin{document}

$Searrow$

end{document}

The newtxmath and newpxmath math font packages provide macros called Nearrow, Nwarrow, Swarrow and Searrow. These arrows (a) take up the same width as Rightarrow and Leftarrow, respectively, and (b) are 1.4 times as long as Rightarrow and Leftarrow.

If you either don't wish to use the newtxmath and newpxmath math font packages -- say, because you don't like or aren't allowed to use Times Roman and Palatino fonts -- or find that the arrows produced by Nearrow, Nwarrow, Swarrow and Searrow look too long, it's straightforward (by using the rotatebox macro of the graphicx package) to create angled double-struck arrows that (a) take up the same width as Rightarrow and (b) are as long Rightarrow as.

documentclass{article}

usepackage{newtxmath} % or: usepackage{newpxmath}



usepackage{graphicx} % for 'rotatebox' macro

newcommandmyrot[1]{mathrel{rotatebox[origin=c]{#1}{$Rightarrow$}}}

% create four new angled double-struck arrows

newcommandNEarrow{myrot{45}}

newcommandNWarrow{myrot{135}}

newcommandSWarrow{myrot{-135}}

newcommandSEarrow{myrot{-45}}
