Right arrow stroke (↛) is Unicode U+219B in the Arrows block. Official name: RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH STROKE — a rightwards arrow with a diagonal stroke through it. HTML provides the named entity ↛ (“not right arrow”).
Remember
Character ↛
Unicode U+219B
Hex entity ↛
Decimal ↛
Named entity ↛
CSS escape \219B
Not the same → U+2192 · ↚ U+219A · ⇏ U+21CF
All of these produce the same glyph: ↛. Prefer ↛ in hand-written HTML; type ↛ in UTF-8 when you can; use numeric or CSS forms for generated content.
Right arrow stroke using Hex Code: ↛
Right arrow stroke using HTML Code: ↛
Right arrow stroke using Named Entity: ↛
Right arrow stroke using CSS Entity: ↛
Typed directly: ↛
How It Works
1. Hex:U+219B → ↛ in HTML. The browser turns it into ↛.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8603 → ↛. Same result as hex.
3. Named:↛ is the standard HTML name for U+219B — clear in source.
4. CSS: use \219B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ↛ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed ↛: fine in UTF-8 source. All five lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with right arrow stroke (↛).
→
Not a plain right arrow
→ (→) has no stroke. Use ↛ when you need the negated form.
↚
Not left stroke
↚ (U+219A) points left. Use U+219B only for a struck right arrow.
Name
Prefer ↛
The named entity is easiest to read in source. Numeric forms are fine for generators.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\219B belongs in CSS. ↛ / ↛ / ↛ belong in HTML.
Encoding
Declare UTF-8
If you type ↛ directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ↛, not &nrarr.

U+219B / ↛Full support
Bottom line: Prefer ↛ in HTML. Use \\219B only inside CSS content.
Use ↛ (hex), ↛ (decimal), ↛ (named), or the CSS escape \219B in the content property. All render ↛. You can also paste ↛ directly if your file is UTF-8.
U+219B (hex 219B, decimal 8603). Unicode names it RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH STROKE. It belongs to the Arrows block.
Yes. ↛ maps to U+219B. Prefer it in hand-written HTML; numeric forms are useful in generated markup.
↛ (U+219B, ↛) is a rightwards arrow with a stroke (often read as “does not go right” / negated implication). → (U+2192, →) is a plain right arrow. ↚ (U+219A, ↚) is leftwards arrow with stroke.
HTML entities (↛, ↛, or ↛) go in markup. The CSS escape \219B is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ↛.
Use it for logical negation of a rightward relation (for example “does not imply”), math notation, and UI labels that need a struck-through right arrow. Prefer ↛ for readable HTML source.

Did you know?
Right arrow stroke is Unicode U+219B (decimal 8603) in the Arrows block — official name RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH STROKE. HTML’s named reference is ↛ (“not right arrow”). It is not the same as a plain right arrow (U+2192 →) or left arrow stroke (U+219A ↚).
