Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &DownArrowBar; is the preferred HTML5 name for U+2913 → ⤓.

2. Hex / decimal: ⤓ and ⤓ insert the same code point.

3. CSS: use \2913 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ⤓.

4. Typed: paste ⤓ in a UTF-8 document, or pair it with a label.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Down Arrow To Bar.

↧

Not &mapstodown;

&mapstodown; is down arrow from bar (U+21A7). &DownArrowBar; is down arrow to bar (U+2913).

Case

Match the capital letters

Write &DownArrowBar; exactly. Entity names are case-sensitive.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

Fonts

Arrow font coverage

Some fonts omit Supplemental Arrows-B glyphs. Prefer a font with solid arrow coverage.

Add accessible text

A lone symbol can be unclear to screen readers. Pair the glyph with visible text or an aria-label.

Semicolon

End named entities

Always finish with ; — write &DownArrowBar;, not &DownArrowBar.
