What does the crosshatch arrow mean in macOS?

What keys on the keyboard do these symbols correspond to in macOS? (The menu in the image is from Preview, but I've seen it in other programs.)
I feel like this will be super easy obvious answer, but I find it difficult to come up with the right search terms (for the record, "crosshatch arrow" didn't work too well).

Best answer: Fn+down arrow= pagedown
Fn+up arrow = page up
Fn + left/right arrow is home/end, which is useful for popping to the top or bottom of a webpage or document.

Jeez. I've been a Mac user since the 1980s and I was today years old when I learned that I could use home/end on my laptop; thanks, SaltySalticid!
