  • Use fonts that support Supplemental Arrows-B (U+2952)
  • 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+2952
  • Use CSS \2952 inside HTML text nodes
  • Confuse ⥒ with ⥚ (harpoon from bar, not to bar)
  • Confuse ⥒ with ↼ (simple left harpoon barb up)
  • Assume legacy systems render Supplemental Arrows-B without testing
