Remember
Character ⤑
Unicode U+2911
Hex entity ⤑
Decimal ⤑
Named entity ⤑
CSS escape \2911
Not the same → U+2192 · ⤐ U+2910
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.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+2911 → ⤑ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤑.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10513 → ⤑. Same result as hex.
3. Named:⤑ is the standard HTML name for U+2911 — clear in source.
4. CSS: use \2911 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 this arrow (⤑).
→
Not a plain right arrow
→ (→) has a solid stem. Use ⤑ when you need the dotted stem.
⤐
Not left dotted-stem
U+2910 points left. Pick U+2911 only when the arrow should face right.
Name
Prefer ⤑
The named entity is easiest to read in source. Numeric forms are fine for generators.
Case
Capital D’s
The name is ⤑ (two capital Ds). Wrong spelling will not render the glyph.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2911 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 &DDotrahd.
