How It Works
1. Hex:U+27F4 → ⟴ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⟴.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10228 → ⟴. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \27F4 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 circled plus. Use U+27F4 only when you need that combined glyph.
⥅
Not plus-below
⥅ (⥅) places a plus under the arrow. ⟴ uses a circled plus — different characters.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\27F4 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 ⟴.
