💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Prefer &rfisht; in HTML for readability
  • Use fonts that support Supplemental Arrows-B (U+297D)
  • Set <meta charset="utf-8">
  • Pair with explanatory text or labels for accessibility in UI
  • Keep one encoding style per project for consistency
  • Distinguish ⥽ from simple right arrows when symbol meaning matters

Don’t

  • Confuse &rfisht; (U+297D) with &rarr; (U+2192, simple right arrow)
  • Confuse &rfisht; with &lfisht; (U+297C, left fish tail)
  • Use CSS \297D inside HTML text nodes
  • Assume legacy systems render Supplemental Arrows-B without testing
  • Mix named and numeric entities inconsistently in the same component
