Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to display ⤋ in HTML and CSS.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Down Triple Arrow (U+290B) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\290B";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x290B;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#10507;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: ⤋</p>
  <p>Label: Jump ⤋</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: ⤋ inserts code point U+290B → ⤋.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10507 → ⤋. Same visual as hex.

3. CSS: use \290B 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 Triple Arrow.

Name

No named entity

There is no HTML5 named entity for U+290B. Use ⤋ or ⤋.

⇓

Not &dArr;

&dArr; is the double down arrow (U+21D3). U+290B has three shafts.

⟱

Not the quadruple form

U+27F1 is the quadruple down arrow. Count the shafts before you choose.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\290B belongs in CSS strings. ⤋ / ⤋ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Arrow font coverage

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

Add accessible text

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

Semicolon

End references

Always finish numeric entities with ; — write ⤋, not &#x290B.

Compatibility

Down triple arrow (U+290B) and its entity forms (⤋, ⤋, CSS \\290B) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Supplemental Arrows-B font coverage.
