How It Works
1. Hex:❱ inserts code point U+2771 → ❱.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10097 → ❱. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \2771 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ❱.
4. Typed: paste ❱ in a UTF-8 document when you need this dingbat. Pair with ❰ for a matched callout, and keep > for real markup comparisons.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with heavy right pointing angle bracket ornament.
Name
No named entity

>
Not >
ASCII greater-than is > (>). Heavy right pointing angle bracket ornament is ❱. Never use the ornament in place of markup >.
❰
Pair with the left ornament
The matching left form is ❰ (U+2770). Use both for balanced decorative callouts.
❯
Not quotation-mark ornament
Heavy right pointing angle quotation mark ornament is ❯ (U+276F). This page is the bracket ornament ❱.
Font

Some fonts omit Dingbats. If ❱ is missing, fall back to a simpler chevron or a font with U+2771 coverage.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2771 belongs in CSS strings. ❱ / ❱ belong in HTML.

Screen readers may not announce ❱ clearly. Prefer aria-label or nearby prose when the ornament carries meaning.
Semicolon
End references
