Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &RightDownVectorBar; is the preferred HTML5 name for U+2955 → ⥕.

2. Hex / decimal: &#x2955; and &#10581; insert the same code point.

3. CSS: use \2955 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ⥕.

4. Typed: paste ⥕ in a UTF-8 document, or pair it with a label like To bar &RightDownVectorBar;.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Down Harpoon With Barb Right To Bar.

To vs from

Not &RightDownTeeVector;

&RightDownTeeVector; is from-bar (U+295D). &RightDownVectorBar; is to-bar (U+2955).

⇂

Not &dharr;

&dharr; is the plain down harpoon with barb right (U+21C2) — no bar attachment.

Name

Prefer the named form

HTML5 provides &RightDownVectorBar;. Prefer it over numeric codes when you can.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2955 belongs in CSS strings. &RightDownVectorBar; / &#x2955; belong in HTML.

Fonts

Math font coverage

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

a11y

Add accessible text

A lone harpoon-to-bar can be unclear to screen readers. Pair it with visible text or an aria-label.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish entities with ; — write &RightDownVectorBar;, not &RightDownVectorBar.

Down harpoon with barb right to bar (U+2955) and its entity forms (&RightDownVectorBar;, &#x2955;, &#10581;, CSS \\2955) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Supplemental Arrows-B font coverage.
