Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to display ⤯ in HTML and CSS.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Falling Diagonal Crossing NE Arrow (U+292F)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\292F";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x292F;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#10543;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: ⤯</p>
  <p>Path A &#x292F; Path B</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: ⤯ inserts code point U+292F → ⤯.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10543 → ⤯. Same visual as hex.

3. CSS: use \292F in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ⤯.

4. Typed: paste ⤯ in a UTF-8 document, or place it between labels in a diagram line.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this arrow.

Name

No named entity

There is no HTML5 named entity for U+292F. Use ⤯ or ⤯. Do not invent &nesear; for this code point (&nesear; is a different arrow).

↗

Not plain NE arrow

U+2197 (↗) is a simple north-east arrow — it does not include the falling diagonal cross.

⤬

Not U+292C

U+292C (⤬) crosses two diagonals. U+292F crosses a falling diagonal with a NE arrow.

Font

Font coverage

Supplemental Arrows-B glyphs may be missing in some fonts. Prefer a font with arrow coverage, or fall back to simpler arrows / SVG icons.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\292F belongs in CSS strings. ⤯ / ⤯ belong in HTML.

a11y

Add accessible text

Screen readers may not describe ⤯ clearly. Prefer nearby prose (for example “diagonal cross north-east”) when direction matters.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish entities with ; — write ⤯, not &#x292F.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Falling diagonal crossing north east arrow (U+292F) and its entity forms (⤯, ⤯, CSS \\292F) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Supplemental Arrows-B font coverage.

✓ Universal support

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this arrow is U+292F (decimal 10543) — glyph ⤯.
