How It Works
1. Hex:U+2947 → ⥇ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥇.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10567 → ⥇. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2947 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥇ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ⥇: fine in UTF-8 source. All four lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this arrow (⥇).
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for ⥇. Use ⥇ or ⥇.
→
Not a plain right arrow
→ (→) has no X. Use U+2947 only when you need the through-X form.
↛
Not arrow stroke
↛ (↛) is a stroked right arrow. ⥇ is an arrow through an X — different glyphs.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2947 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 ⥇.
