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 Rising Diagonal (U+292C)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\292C";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x292C;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#10540;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: ⤬</p>
  <p>Node A &#x292C; Node B</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: ⤬ inserts code point U+292C → ⤬.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10540 → ⤬. Same visual as hex.

3. CSS: use \292C 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 symbol.

Name

No named entity

There is no HTML5 named entity for U+292C. Use ⤬ or ⤬. Do not invent &fdiag;.

Not multiplication ×

U+00D7 (×) is the math product sign. Use it for arithmetic, not for this geometric cross.

✗

Not ballot X

U+2717 (✗) is a Dingbats check/ballot mark style X — different block and meaning.

⤯

Not U+292F

U+292F (⤯) crosses a falling diagonal with a NE arrow — not two diagonals alone.

Font

Font coverage

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

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\292C belongs in CSS strings. ⤬ / ⤬ belong in HTML.

a11y

Add accessible text

Screen readers may not describe ⤬ clearly. Prefer nearby prose (for example “crossed diagonals”) when the mark carries meaning.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish entities with ; — write ⤬, not &#x292C.

Compatibility

Browser Support

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