Remember
Character ⤟
Unicode U+291F
Hex entity ⤟
Decimal ⤟
Named entity ⤟
CSS escape \291F
All of these produce the same glyph: ⤟ (when the font supports U+291F). Prefer ⤟ in HTML source for clarity; use hex/decimal when generating entities, and CSS \291F only in content.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+291F → ⤟ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤟.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10527 → ⤟. Same result as hex.
3. Named:⤟ is the HTML5 name for this character — easiest to read in source.
4. CSS: use \291F in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤟ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Left Arrow Bar Black Diamond.
Named
Prefer ⤟
The named form is easiest to read and maintain in HTML source.
Look-alikes
Not U+21A4 or U+291D alone
From-bar without diamond is U+21A4. Diamond without from-bar is U+291D. U+291F is the combined form.
A11y
Label the action
Pair ⤟ with words like “Back”, or use aria-label — composite arrows are often silent to assistive tech.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\291F belongs in CSS. ⤟ / ⤟ / ⤟ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Supplemental Arrows coverage
Some fonts omit U+291F. Prefer Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Sans Symbols, or another arrows-capable face.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⤟, not &larrbfs.
