Not the same ⟹ (⟹) · ⟼ (⟼) · ⟽
Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ⟾. Prefer ⟾ when you want an explicit entity. There is no named HTML form.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+27FE → ⟾ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⟾.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10238 → ⟾. Same result as hex.
3. Named: HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character — use hex or decimal instead.
4. CSS: use \27FE in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⟾ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Long Right Double Arrow From Bar.
Look-alikes
⟾ ≠ ⟹ ≠ ⟼
Plain long right double (⟹) has no bar. Long right from bar (⟼) is a single shaft. Use U+27FE only for the double-shaft form with a bar.
Named
No &…; name
Do not invent a name or reuse ⟼ / ⟹. Use ⟾ or ⟾.
Fonts
Arrow glyph coverage

CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\27FE belongs in CSS. ⟾ / ⟾ belong in HTML.

Add nearby words
Pair the glyph with labels (for example X ⟾ Y) or use aria-label when it stands alone.
