How It Works
1. Named:⥱ is the preferred HTML5 name for U+2971 → ⥱.
2. Hex:⥱ inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 10609 → ⥱.
4. CSS: use \2971 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ⥱.
5. Typed: paste ⥱ in a UTF-8 document, or write a relation like <i>P</i> ⥱ <i>Q</i>.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Equals Sign Above Right Arrow.
Name
Prefer ⥱
⥱ is the readable named form for U+2971. Numeric forms still work when you need them.
→
Not a plain right arrow
U+2192 (→) is → only. Use ⥱ when you need the equals-above form.
⇒
Not a double arrow
⇒ (⇒) is a thick double arrow used for implication — a different character from ⥱.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2971 belongs in CSS strings. ⥱ / ⥱ / ⥱ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Arrow font coverage
Some fonts omit Supplemental Arrows-B. Prefer a font with solid arrow coverage if the glyph must always show.
a11y
Add accessible text
Screen readers may not expand ⥱ clearly. Prefer a short phrase nearby when the relation meaning matters.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ⥱, not &erarr.
