html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Double Rightwards Arrow Below (U+0362) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "a\0362i";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: a&#x0362;i</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: a&#866;i</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: a͢i   e͢o</p>
  <p>Order: first letter, then U+0362, then second letter</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: write the first letter, then ͢, then the second letter → a͢i.

2. Decimal: same code point as 866 → ͢ after the first letter. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \0362 in content between letters in the string (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends a͢i.

4. Typed / order: paste the combining mark between the two letters in a UTF-8 document.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Double Rightwards Arrow Below.

Order

Letter, then mark, then letter

Write a͢i, not ͢ai. The mark sits between the two base characters.

→

Not a spacing arrow

For UI arrows and plain text “next” marks, use a spacing arrow. U+0362 is a combining phonetic diacritic.

U+0361

Not the ligature tie

U+0361 is the IPA ligature tie above. U+0362 is the sliding arrow below.

Name

No named entity

There is no &drarbelow; for U+0362. Use ͢ or ͢.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0362 belongs in CSS strings. ͢ / ͢ belong in HTML after the first letter.

Fonts

Diacritic font coverage

Some fonts omit U+0362. Prefer a font with Combining Diacritical Marks / IPA coverage for display.
