Definition

What Is This Harpoon Entity?

Left Harpoon Barb Down Above Right Harpoon Barb Down (⥧) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+2967. It stacks a leftwards harpoon (barb down) above a rightwards harpoon (barb down).

Remember

Character     ⥧
Unicode       U+2967
Hex entity    &#x2967;
Decimal       &#10599;
Named entity  &ldrdhar;

<!DOCTYPE html>

</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2967 → ⥧ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥧.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10599 → ⥧. Same result as hex.

3. Named: &ldrdhar; is the HTML5 name for this character.

4. CSS: use \2967 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥧ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this stacked harpoon.

Look-alikes

⥧ ≠ ⥦ ≠ ↽

&ldrdhar; (both barbs down), &luruhar; (both barbs up), and single &lhard; are different points.

Name

Use `&ldrdhar;` exactly

The letters encode left-down / right-down. Guessing similar names can hit the wrong harpoon.

Fonts

Glyph may be missing

Supplemental Arrows-B coverage varies. Test on your target devices or provide a fallback font.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2967 belongs in CSS. &ldrdhar; / ⥧ / ⥧ belong in HTML.

A11y

Add nearby words

Pair the glyph with equation text or use aria-label when it stands alone.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &ldrdhar;, not &ldrdhar.

Compatibility

U+2967 and its entity forms (&ldrdhar;, ⥧, ⥧, CSS \\2967) are supported in all modern browsers. Glyph coverage depends on the font.
