Identify this symbol: double emitter transistor?

Question

What exactly does this symbol represent, and how is it different from a regular PNP transistor?

one base, two emitters, two collectors

If it is something more than a basic transistor, how would one model it in a simple circuit simulator?

It's a double Collector pnp (the arrow represents the emitter), and can also be interpreted as a current mirror, since it appears to be 2 pnp with shared Emitter and Base.

You can simulate it with 2 transistors, in a mirror configuration.
