What Is the NE Arrow SE Arrow Entity?
North east arrow and south east arrow (⤨) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+2928. It is a single glyph that pairs both diagonal directions — useful for maps and UI with dual exits. HTML5 provides ⤨ and ⤨.
Remember
Character ⤨
Unicode U+2928
Named entity ⤨ (also ⤨)
Hex entity ⤨
Decimal ⤨
CSS escape \2928
All of these produce the same glyph: ⤨. Prefer ⤨ for readable HTML; paste ⤨ in UTF-8 when convenient.

How It Works
1. Named:⤨ (or ⤨) is the clearest HTML form for U+2928.
2. Hex:U+2928 → ⤨ in HTML. Reliable numeric form.
3. Decimal: same code point as 10536 → ⤨. Same glyph.
4. Direct: paste ⤨ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
5. CSS: use \2928 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤨ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this arrow entity.
One glyph
Not two arrows typed apart
↗↘ is two characters. ⤨ is one designed pair — prefer it for consistent spacing.
Aliases
⤨ = ⤨
Both named forms map to U+2928. Pick one and stay consistent.
Font
Glyph coverage varies
Supplemental Arrows-B may be missing in some fonts. Provide a fallback or descriptive text if needed.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2928 belongs in CSS. ⤨ / ⤨ / ⤨ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⤨, not &nesear.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ⤨ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
Compatibility
Browser Support
NE and SE arrow (U+2928) and its entity forms (⤨, ⤨, ⤨, CSS \\2928) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.
✓ Universal support
NE Arrow SE Arrow (⤨)
Prefer ⤨, or encode with hex, decimal, or CSS escape — same glyph everywhere (when the font has it).

Bottom line: Prefer ⤨ (or ⤨) in HTML. Use ⤨ / ⤨ when a numeric form is required, and \\2928 only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: NE and SE arrow is U+2928 (decimal 10536), Supplemental Arrows-B.
HTML: prefer ⤨ (alias ⤨), or ⤨ / ⤨.
CSS: use \2928 inside content for generated text.
Meaning: one paired glyph — not the same as ↗↘ typed separately.
Use ⤨ or ⤨ (named), ⤨ (hex), ⤨ (decimal), type ⤨ in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \2928 in content. All render ⤨.
U+2928 (NORTH EAST ARROW AND SOUTH EAST ARROW). Hex 2928, decimal 10536. It belongs to Supplemental Arrows-B and combines both diagonal directions in one glyph.
Yes. HTML5 defines ⤨ and ⤨ (aliases for the same character). You can also use ⤨ or ⤨.
Use it for maps and UI when both north-east and south-east options matter. Prefer ⤨ for readable source. For a single NE arrow, use ↗ (U+2197) instead.
HTML entities (⤨, ⤨, or ⤨) go in markup. The CSS escape \2928 is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ⤨.
U+2928 is a single code point designed as one paired glyph. Typing ↗↘ is two characters and may space or align differently. Prefer ⤨ when you want the dedicated pair.
