What Is the Lower Left Semicircular Anticlockwise Arrow Entity?

Block Supplemental Arrows-B
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.

Using HTML Code: ⤿
Using CSS Entity: ⤿
Rotate anticlockwise ⤿
How It Works
1. Hex:U+293F → ⤿ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤿.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10559 → ⤿. Same result as hex.
3. Named: HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character — use hex or decimal instead.
4. CSS: use \293F in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤿ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips

CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\293F belongs in CSS. ⤿ / ⤿ belong in HTML.
