💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#10590; or &#x295E; in HTML—no named entity exists
  • Use fonts that support Supplemental Arrows-B (U+295E)
  • Set <meta charset="utf-8">
  • Pair ⥞ with explanatory context for accessibility
  • Keep one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project
  • Distinguish ⥞ from ↽ and ⥫ when symbol meaning matters

Don’t

  • Expect a named HTML entity for U+295E
  • Use CSS \295E inside HTML text nodes
  • Confuse ⥞ with ↽ (simple left harpoon barb down)
  • Confuse ⥞ with ⥫ (harpoon below long dash)
  • Assume legacy systems render Supplemental Arrows-B without testing
