💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Prefer &rbarr; in HTML for readability
  • Pair ⤍ with text (“Next”, “Continue”) or aria-label for accessibility
  • Use fonts that support Supplemental Arrows-B (U+290D)
  • Set <meta charset="utf-8">
  • Keep one encoding style per project for consistency
  • Distinguish ⤍ from ⇢ when double-dash vs single-dash matters

Don’t

  • Confuse &rbarr; (U+290D) with &rarr; (U+2192, simple right arrow)
  • Confuse &rbarr; with &rArr; (U+21D2, plain right double arrow)
  • Use CSS \290D inside HTML text nodes
  • Assume legacy systems render Supplemental Arrows-B without testing
  • Mix named and numeric entities inconsistently in the same component
