NamesList.txt contains this entry for the left arrow:
2B05 LEFTWARDS BLACK ARROW
x (black rightwards arrow - 27A1)
x (rightwards black arrow - 2B95)
I don't know how U+2B95 came to be encoded in 7.0 when all of the
similar U+2B0x arrows had been in place since 4.0. Presumably, before
then, it was felt that U+27A1 was an appropriate fit, though as Chris
idou747 pointed out, not all fonts show perfect symmetry here.
