💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#x295D; or &#10589; consistently in markup
  • Add aria-label when the symbol means from bar or down from bar
  • Pair ⥝ with a legend in technical documents
  • Use \295D in CSS ::before / ::after for harpoon-from-bar icons
  • Serve pages with UTF-8 (<meta charset="utf-8">)

Don’t

  • Expect a named entity—none exists for U+295D
  • Confuse ⥝ (from bar) with ⇂ (&dharr;, barb right only)
  • Put CSS escape \295D in HTML text nodes
  • Rely on the symbol alone in accessibility-critical UIs
  • Assume decorative fonts include all Supplemental Arrows-B glyphs
