How It Works
1. Hex:U+2932 → ⤲ in HTML. Best portable choice (no named entity).
2. Decimal: same code point as 10546 → ⤲. Same glyph.
3. Direct: paste ⤲ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
4. CSS: use \2932 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤲ after the paragraph text.
5. Named: HTML5 has none — do not invent a name like &necrossse;.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this arrow entity.
No name
Do not invent a named entity
There is no &…; name for U+2932. Use ⤲ or ⤲.
Not single
Not ↗ alone
↗ is one arrow. This character is a crossing of NE and SE — different glyph and meaning.
Font
Glyph coverage varies
Supplemental Arrows-B may be missing in some fonts. Provide a fallback font or descriptive text if the box appears empty.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2932 belongs in CSS. ⤲ / ⤲ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⤲, not ⤲.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ⤲ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
