What Is Black Feathered South East Arrow?

Black feathered south east arrow (➷) is Unicode U+27B7 in the Dingbats block. It is a filled arrow with feathered fletching that points south-east. HTML has no standard named entity — use numeric or CSS forms (or type the character in UTF-8).

Remember
Character     ➷
Unicode       U+27B7
Hex entity    ➷
Decimal       ➷
Named entity  (none)
CSS escape    \27B7
Not the same  ➵ U+27B5 · ➶ U+27B6 · ➴ U+27B4 (heavy)

All of these produce the same glyph: ➷. Prefer typing ➷ in UTF-8 when you can; use ➷ / ➷ or CSS for generated content.

Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to produce ➷ in a single document (no named entity).

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Black Feathered South East Arrow (➷) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\27B7";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Black feathered SE arrow using Hex Code: &#x27B7;</p>
  <p>Black feathered SE arrow using HTML Code: &#10167;</p>
  <p id="point">Black feathered SE arrow using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ➷</p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+27B7 → &#x27B7; in HTML. The browser turns it into ➷.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10167 → &#10167;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \27B7 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ➷ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed ➷: fine in UTF-8 source. All four lines show the same glyph.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with black feathered south east arrow (➷).

Named

No &name; form

U+27B7 has no standard named entity — use &#x27B7; or &#10167;.

Direction

Pick the matching arrow

SE is U+27B7. For right use ➵; for NE use ➶.

➴

Not the heavy SE form

➴ is U+27B4 (heavy black-feathered south east). Prefer U+27B7 ➷ for this page’s character.

a11y

Say the direction

Screen readers may not announce “south-east.” Add visible or visually hidden text when direction matters.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\27B7 belongs in CSS. &#x27B7; / &#10167; belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#x27B7;, not &#x27B7.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Black feathered south east arrow (U+27B7) and its entity forms (&#x27B7;, &#10167;, CSS \\27B7) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph quality depends on font support for Dingbats.

Remember

Key Takeaways

  • Unicode: black feathered south east arrow is U+27B7 (decimal 10167).
  • HTML: use &#x27B7; or &#10167; (no named entity).
  • CSS: use \27B7 inside content for generated icons.
  • Watch out: ➷ ≠ ➵ ≠ ➶ (SE ≠ right ≠ NE); also ≠ ➴ (heavy SE).

One line: U+27B7 → &#x27B7; / &#10167; / CSS \27B7.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use &#x27B7; (hex), &#10167; (decimal), or the CSS escape \27B7 in the content property. All render ➷. You can also paste ➷ directly if your file is UTF-8. There is no standard named entity.
U+27B7 (hex 27B7, decimal 10167). Unicode names it BLACK-FEATHERED SOUTH EAST ARROW. It belongs to the Dingbats block.
No. HTML5 / WHATWG does not define a named character reference for U+27B7. Prefer &#x27B7;, &#10167;, or a typed ➷ in UTF-8.
➷ (U+27B7) is the standard black-feathered south-east arrow. ➵ (U+27B5) points right. ➶ (U+27B6) points north-east. ➴ (U+27B4) is the heavy black-feathered south-east arrow — a different code point.
HTML entities (&#10167; or &#x27B7;) go in markup. The CSS escape \27B7 is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ➷.
Use ➷ for south-east direction cues, expand/nested UI hints, flowcharts, and decorative markers. Prefer plain text or ARIA labels when the direction must be clear to screen readers.
