Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to display ➥ in HTML and CSS.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Heavy Black Curved Down Right Arrow (U+27A5)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\27A5";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x27A5;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#10149;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: ➥</p>
  <p><span aria-label="Continue">Continue &#x27A5;</span></p>
  <p>Up-right variant: &#x27A6;</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: ➥ inserts code point U+27A5 → ➥.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10149 → ➥. Same visual as hex.

3. CSS: use \27A5 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ➥.

4. Typed: paste ➥ in a UTF-8 document when you need this dingbat arrow. Prefer aria-label or nearby prose such as “Continue” so direction is clear to everyone.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this curved arrow.

Name

No named entity

There is no HTML5 named entity for U+27A5. Use ➥ or ➥. Do not invent &curvedarrow;.

➦

Not the up-right twin

U+27A6 (➦) curves up and right. U+27A5 curves down and right. Match the direction your UI needs.

→

Not a plain right arrow

For a simple rightwards arrow, prefer → (→). U+27A5 is a heavy curved dingbat.

Font

Font coverage

Some fonts omit Dingbats arrows. If ➥ is missing, fall back to text (“Next”) or a font with U+27A5 coverage.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\27A5 belongs in CSS strings. ➥ / ➥ belong in HTML.

a11y

Add accessible text

Screen readers may not announce ➥ clearly. Prefer aria-label or nearby prose such as “Continue” or “Expand”.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish entities with ; — write ➥, not &#x27A5.
