Definition

What Is the Right Double Arrow Vertical Stroke Entity?

Right Double Arrow Vertical Stroke (⤃) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+2903 (RIGHTWARDS DOUBLE ARROW WITH VERTICAL STROKE). It is a double rightwards arrow crossed by a vertical bar.

Remember

Character     ⤃
Unicode       U+2903
Hex entity    &#x2903;
Decimal       &#10499;
Named entity  &nvrArr;
CSS escape    \2903

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Right Double Arrow Vertical Stroke (⤃) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2903";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x2903;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#10499;</p>
  <p>Using Named Entity: &nvrArr;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p><a href="#">Skip forward &nvrArr;</a></p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2903 → ⤃ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤃.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10499 → ⤃. Same result as hex.

3. Named: &nvrArr; is the HTML5 name for this character.

4. CSS: use \2903 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤃ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Right Double Arrow Vertical Stroke.

Look-alikes

⤃ ≠ ⇏ ≠ ⇻

Vertical stroke on a double arrow, diagonal stroke (&nrArr;), and double vertical strokes on a single arrow (U+21FB) are different points.

Case

Capital `A` in `&nvrArr;`

Named entities are case-sensitive. Use &nvrArr; exactly as written.

Fonts

Glyph may be missing

Supplemental Arrows-B coverage varies. Test on your target devices or provide a fallback font.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2903 belongs in CSS. &nvrArr; / ⤃ / ⤃ belong in HTML.

A11y

Add nearby words

Pair the glyph with text like “Skip forward”, or use aria-label on icon-only controls.

Semicolon

End references

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