What Is Bottom Arc Anticlockwise Arrow?

Bottom arc anticlockwise arrow (⤻) is Unicode U+293B in the Supplemental Arrows-B block. It is a curved anticlockwise arrow along a bottom arc — useful for rotation cues and diagrams. HTML has no standard named entity — use numeric or CSS forms (or type the character in UTF-8).

Remember
Character     ⤹
Unicode       U+293B
Hex entity    ⤻
Decimal       ⤻
Named entity  (none)
CSS escape    \293B
Not the same  U+293A (top arc anticlockwise arrow)

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>Bottom Arc Anticlockwise Arrow (⤹) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\293B";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Bottom arc anticlockwise arrow using Hex Code: &#x293B;</p>
  <p>Bottom arc anticlockwise arrow using HTML Code: &#10555;</p>
  <p id="point">Bottom arc anticlockwise arrow using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ⤻</p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+293B → &#x293B; in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤻.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10555 → &#10555;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \293B 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 bottom arc anticlockwise arrow (⤹).

Named

No &name; form

U+293B has no standard named entity — use &#x293B; or &#10555;.

Top

Not the top-arc arrow

For the top-arc form use U+293A.

Say the direction

Screen readers may not announce “anticlockwise.” Pair the glyph with visible or visually hidden text such as Rotate left.

Fonts

Check arrow coverage

Some UI fonts omit Supplemental Arrows-B. Prefer fonts with solid U+293B support.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\293B belongs in CSS. &#x293B; / &#10555; belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#x293B;, not &#x293B.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Bottom arc anticlockwise arrow (U+293B) and its entity forms (&#x293B;, &#10555;, CSS \\293B) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph quality depends on font support for Supplemental Arrows-B.

✓ Universal support
