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 Feathered South East Arrow (U+27B7)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\27B7";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x27B7;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#10167;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: ➷</p>
  <p><span aria-label="More details">Expand &#x27B7;</span></p>
  <p>Feathered right: &#x27B8;</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: ➷ inserts code point U+27B7 → ➷.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10167 → ➷. Same visual as hex.

3. CSS: use \27B7 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 “More details” so direction is clear to everyone.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this feathered arrow.

Name

No named entity

There is no HTML5 named entity for U+27B7. Use ➷ or ➷. Do not invent &featheredse;.

➸

Not feathered right

U+27B8 (➸) points right. U+27B7 points south-east. Related feathered dingbats — different directions.

↘

Not a plain south-east arrow

For a simple diagonal arrow, prefer &searr; (↘). U+27B7 is a heavy feathered dingbat.

Font

Font coverage

Some fonts omit Dingbats arrows. If ➷ is missing, fall back to text (“South-east”) or a font with U+27B7 coverage.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\27B7 belongs in CSS strings. ➷ / ➷ belong in HTML.

Add accessible text

Screen readers may not announce ➷ clearly. Prefer aria-label or nearby prose such as “More details”.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish entities with ; — write ➷, not &#x27B7.

Heavy black feathered south-east arrow (U+27B7) and its entity forms (➷, ➷, CSS \\27B7) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Dingbats font coverage.
