1

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

Use Cases

The Lower Left Semicircular Anticlockwise Arrow (⤿) is commonly used in:

🔄 Rotation & direction

Indicate anticlockwise (counterclockwise) rotation in controls, dials, or instructions.

🧭 Navigation

Show curved or turn directions in maps, wayfinding UI, and navigation elements.

📐 Math & physics

Denote curved trajectories, anticlockwise rotation, or transformations in diagrams.

📊 Flowcharts

Represent loops, returns, or anticlockwise flow in flowcharts and process diagrams.

↩ Undo & reverse

Suggest undo, reverse, or go-back actions in toolbars and buttons.

🎨 Design & typography

Use as a decorative or functional arrow in graphic design and typographic layouts.

⚙ Settings & controls

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Pair ⤿ with text or aria-label (e.g. “Anticlockwise”) for accessibility
  • Use numeric references (&#x293F; or &#10559;) consistently in HTML
  • Use U+293E (⤾) when you need the clockwise counterpart instead
  • Verify Supplemental Arrows-B glyph support in your target fonts
  • Use \293F in CSS content when inserting via pseudo-elements

Don’t

  • Confuse ⤿ (anticlockwise) with ⤾ (clockwise U+293E)
  • Put CSS escape \293F in HTML text nodes
  • Expect a named HTML entity—only numeric codes work for ⤿
  • Use the arrow alone when direction is critical—add explanatory text
  • Mix entity styles randomly in one file

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render ⤿ (no named entity)

&#x293F; &#10559;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property

\293F
