Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2966 → ⥦ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥦.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10598 → ⥦. Same result as hex.

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

4. CSS: use \2966 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥦ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Left Harpoon Barb Up Above Right Harpoon Barb Up.

Look-alikes

⥦ ≠ ⥢ ≠ ↼

&luruhar; (left-up over right-up), &lHar; (left-up over left-down), and single &lharu; are different characters.

Name

`&luruhar;` spelling

Read it as l + uru + har (left up, right up, harpoon). Typos like &lurhar; will not work.

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

\2966 belongs in CSS. &luruhar; / ⥦ / ⥦ 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 &luruhar;, not &luruhar.
