What Is Arrow Pointing Downwards Then Curving Rightward?
Arrow pointing downwards then curving rightward (⤷) is Unicode U+2937 in the Supplemental Arrows-B block. It is a down-then-right bend used in compact UI cues, flow sketches, and “continue”-style diagrams. HTML provides the named entity ⤷.
Remember
Character ⤷
Unicode U+2937
Hex entity ⤷
Decimal ⤷
Named entity ⤷
CSS escape \2937
Not the same ↓ U+2193 · ⤶ U+2936 · ⤵ U+2935
All of these produce the same glyph: ⤷. Prefer ⤷ in hand-written HTML; type ⤷ in UTF-8 when you can; use numeric or CSS forms for generated content.

Five ways to produce ⤷ in a single document.
html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Arrow Down Then Curving Right (⤷) in HTML</title>
<style>
#point::after {
content: "\2937";
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Curved right using Hex Code: ⤷</p>
<p>Curved right using HTML Code: ⤷</p>
<p>Curved right using Named Entity: ⤷</p>
<p id="point">Curved right using CSS Entity: </p>
<p>Typed directly: ⤷</p>
</body>
</html>
Curved right using Hex Code: ⤷
Curved right using HTML Code: ⤷
Curved right using Named Entity: ⤷
Curved right using CSS Entity: ⤷
Typed directly: ⤷
How It Works
1. Hex:U+2937 → ⤷ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤷.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10551 → ⤷. Same result as hex.
3. Named:⤷ is the standard HTML name for U+2937 — clear in source.
4. CSS: use \2937 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤷ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed ⤷: fine in UTF-8 source. All five lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with arrow down then curving right (⤷).
⤶
Not the leftward bend
⤶ (U+2936) / ⤶ mirrors this glyph — do not swap them in diagrams.
⤵
Not right-then-down
⤵ (U+2935) is a different Supplemental Arrows-B operator.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2937 belongs in CSS. ⤷ / ⤷ belong in HTML.
a11y
Label decorative arrows
Pair icon-only cues with visible text or ARIA so the action is clear.
Fonts
Need Supplemental Arrows-B
Some UI fonts omit U+2937. Prefer fonts with solid arrow coverage.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⤷, not &rdca.

Key Takeaways
Unicode: down then curving right is U+2937 (decimal 10551).
Use ⤷ (hex), ⤷ (decimal), ⤷ (named), or the CSS escape \2937 in the content property. All render ⤷. You can also paste ⤷ directly if your file is UTF-8.
U+2937 (hex 2937, decimal 10551). Unicode names it ARROW POINTING DOWNWARDS THEN CURVING RIGHTWARD. It belongs to the Supplemental Arrows-B block.
Yes. ⤷ maps to U+2937. Prefer it in hand-written HTML; numeric forms are useful in generated markup.
U+2936 is ARROW POINTING DOWNWARDS THEN CURVING LEFTWARD (⤶). It mirrors the bend of U+2937 — pick the code point that matches your diagram.
No. ⤵ is U+2935 (arrow pointing rightwards then curving downward). ⤷ is U+2937 (down then curving right). Different code points.
HTML entities (⤷, ⤷, or ⤷) go in markup. The CSS escape \2937 is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ⤷.

Did you know?
Arrow pointing downwards then curving rightward is Unicode U+2937 (decimal 10551) in the Supplemental Arrows-B block. HTML provides ⤷ for ⤷. It is the right-bend twin of U+2936 (⤶) — not a plain down arrow, and not ⤵ (U+2935).
