How It Works
1. Hex:U+2930 → ⤰ in HTML. Best portable choice (no named entity).
2. Decimal: same code point as 10544 → ⤰. Same glyph.
3. Direct: paste ⤰ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
4. CSS: use \2930 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 &nwcrossne;.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this arrow entity.
No name
Do not invent a named entity
There is no &…; name for U+2930. Use ⤰ or ⤰.
Not single
Not ↖ alone
↖ is one arrow. This character is a crossing of NW and NE — different glyph and meaning.
Sibling
Not the same as ⤱
U+2931 is NE crossing NW. U+2930 is NW crossing NE. Pick the code point that matches your diagram.
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
\2930 belongs in CSS. ⤰ / ⤰ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⤰, not ⤰.
