How It Works
1. Hex:U+297D → ⥽ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥽.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10621 → ⥽. Same result as hex.
3. Named:⥽ is the HTML5 name for this character.
4. CSS: use \297D in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥽ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Right Fish Tail.
Look-alikes
⥽ ≠ → ≠ ⥼
Fish tail right, plain right (→), and fish tail left (⥼) are different points.
Fonts
Glyph may be missing
Supplemental Arrows-B coverage varies. Test on your target devices or provide a fallback font.
Name
Use ⥽ exactly
Guessing names will not work. Stick to ⥽ or numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\297D belongs in CSS. ⥽ / ⥽ / ⥽ belong in HTML.
A11y
Add nearby words
Pair the glyph with labels in diagrams, or use aria-label on icon-only controls.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⥽, not &rfisht.
