💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Prefer &nvrArr; in HTML for readability
  • Pair ⤃ with text (“Next”, “Continue”) or aria-label for accessibility
  • Use fonts that support Supplemental Arrows-B (U+2903)
  • Set <meta charset="utf-8">
  • Keep one encoding style per project for consistency
  • Distinguish ⤃ from ⇏ when vertical vs horizontal stroke matters

Don’t

  • Confuse &nvrArr; (U+2903) with &nrArr; (U+21CF, horizontal stroke)
  • Confuse &nvrArr; with &rArr; (U+21D2, plain right double arrow)
  • Use CSS \2903 inside HTML text nodes
  • Assume legacy systems render Supplemental Arrows-B without testing
  • Mix named and numeric entities inconsistently in the same component
