💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#10605; or &#x296D; in HTML—no named entity exists
  • Use fonts that support Supplemental Arrows-B (U+296D)
  • Set <meta charset="utf-8">
  • Pair ⥭ with explanatory context for accessibility
  • Keep one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project
  • Distinguish ⥭ from ⇁ and ⥫ when symbol meaning matters

Don’t

  • Expect a named HTML entity for U+296D
  • Use CSS \296D inside HTML text nodes
  • Confuse ⥭ with ⇁ (simple right harpoon barb down)
  • Confuse ⥭ with ⥫ (mirror left harpoon below long dash)
  • Assume legacy systems render Supplemental Arrows-B without testing
