HTML Entity for Right Angle Arc (⊾)
What You'll Learn
How to display the Right Angle Arc symbol (⊾) in HTML using numeric references, the named entity, and CSS escapes. This character is U+22BE (RIGHT ANGLE WITH ARC) in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF)—used in geometry, mathematical notation, and academic documentation to denote a right angle marked with an arc.
You can use the named entity ⊾, hex ⊾, decimal ⊾, or CSS \22BE. Do not confuse ⊾ with U+221F (∟, plain right angle) or U+2220 (∠, general angle).

🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
⊾ uses Unicode hex 22BE to display the right angle with arc symbol.
Decimal HTML Code
⊾ is the decimal equivalent (8894) for the same character.
Named HTML Entity
⊾ is the standard named entity for U+22BE—readable in HTML source.
CSS Entity
\22BE is the CSS escape for U+22BE, used in pseudo-element content.
Same visual result
All four methods produce ⊾. Unicode U+22BE in Mathematical Operators. Next: Right Arrow.
Use Cases
The Right Angle Arc symbol (⊾) is commonly used in:
Diagrams and proofs marking right angles with arc notation.
Formal expressions involving perpendicular lines and arc marks.
Research papers, math journals, and scholarly publications.
Technical drawings, specifications, and CAD documentation.
Character pickers, entity documentation, and math symbol guides.
Pair ⊾ with descriptive text or MathML when used as a meaningful symbol.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Use
⊾for readable right angle arc markup - Set
<meta charset="utf-8">for reliable rendering - Use ⊾ for arc-marked right angles—not plain right angle ∟
- Link to Right Angle when documenting related symbols
- Pick one reference style per project for consistency
Don’t
- Confuse ⊾ with ∟ (right angle) or ∠ (angle)
- Use padded Unicode notation like U+022BE—the correct value is
U+22BE - Use CSS escape
\22BEin HTML text nodes - Substitute ∟ when arc notation (⊾) is required
- Assume every font renders Mathematical Operators identically
