💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#x292F; or &#10543; for readable arrow markup
  • Pair the arrow with text labels when meaning might be ambiguous
  • Add aria-label (e.g. “north east direction”) for accessibility
  • Use the CSS escape in ::before or ::after for repeated icon patterns
  • Serve pages with UTF-8 (<meta charset="utf-8">)

Don’t

  • Confuse ⤯ (diagonal crossing) with ↗ (standard NE arrow)
  • Expect a named entity—none exists for U+292F
  • Put CSS escape \292F in HTML text nodes
  • Assume every font includes Supplemental Arrows-B glyphs
