What Is the Right Double Arrow Tail Entity?

Right Double Arrow Tail (⤜) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+291C (RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW-TAIL). It is a rightwards double arrow-tail shape used in navigation icons and technical diagrams.

Remember
Character     ⤜
Unicode       U+291C
Hex entity    ⤜
Decimal       ⤜
Named entity  ⤜
CSS escape    \291C
Note          ⤚ = single tail (U+291A)

All of these produce the same glyph: ⤜ (when the font supports U+291C). Prefer ⤜ in HTML source for clarity; use hex/decimal when generating entities, and CSS \291C only in content.

All four ways to produce ⤜ in a single document.

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Right Double Arrow Tail (⤜) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\291C";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x291C;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#10524;</p>
  <p>Using Named Entity: &rAtail;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p><a href="#">Next &rAtail;</a></p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+291C → &#x291C; in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤜.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10524 → &#10524;. Same result as hex.

3. Named: &rAtail; is the HTML5 name for this character — note the capital A.

4. CSS: use \291C in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤜ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Right Double Arrow Tail.

Case

&rAtail; ≠ &ratail;

Capital A selects U+291C (double). Lowercase &ratail; is U+291A (single).

Look-alikes

Not plain → or U+2915

&rarr; (U+2192) is a standard arrow. U+2915 is a different arrow-with-tail-and-double-stroke glyph — not &rAtail;.

A11y

Label the action

Pair ⤜ with words like “Next”, or use aria-label.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\291C belongs in CSS. &rAtail; / &#x291C; / &#10524; belong in HTML.

Fonts

Supplemental Arrows coverage

Some fonts omit U+291C. Prefer Segoe UI Symbol, Noto Sans Symbols, or another arrows-capable face.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &rAtail;, not &rAtail.

Browser Support

Right Double Arrow Tail (U+291C) and its entity forms (&rAtail;, &#x291C;, &#10524;, CSS \\291C) are supported in modern browsers when the font includes Supplemental Arrows-B.

One line: U+291C → &rAtail; / &#x291C; / &#10524; / CSS \291C.
