💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Prefer &rAtail; in HTML for readability
  • Pair ⤜ with text (e.g., “Next”, “Continue”) or aria-label for accessibility
  • Use fonts that support Supplemental Arrows-B (U+291C)
  • Set <meta charset="utf-8">
  • Keep one encoding style per project for consistency
  • Test glyph rendering across browsers and fonts

Don’t

  • Confuse &rAtail; (U+291C) with &ratail; (U+291A, simple right arrow headless tail)
  • Use CSS \291C inside HTML text nodes
  • Confuse ⤜ with ⇻ or simple → arrows
  • Rely on the symbol alone without context in critical UI
  • Assume legacy systems render Supplemental Arrows-B without testing
