North east arrow hook (⤤) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+2924 (NORTH EAST ARROW WITH HOOK). It is a diagonal up-right arrow with a hooked end — useful for maps and UI cues. HTML5 provides the named entity ⤤.
Remember
Character ⤤
Unicode U+2924
Named entity ⤤

How It Works
1. Named:⤤ is the clearest HTML form for U+2924.
2. Hex:U+2924 → ⤤ in HTML. Reliable numeric form.
3. Decimal: same code point as 10532 → ⤤. Same glyph.
4. Direct: paste ⤤ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
5. CSS: use \2924 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤤ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this arrow entity.
Hook vs plain
⤤ vs ↗
↗ is a plain NE arrow. ⤤ includes a hook — use the one that matches your design.
Font
Glyph coverage varies
Supplemental Arrows-B may be missing in some fonts. Provide a fallback or descriptive text if the box appears empty.
Accessibility
Do not rely on the glyph alone
If the arrow conveys action or direction, add visible or aria-label text so screen readers get the meaning.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2924 belongs in CSS. ⤤ / ⤤ / ⤤ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⤤, not &nearhk.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ⤤ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
