Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+296D → ⥭ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥭.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10605 → ⥭. Same result as hex.

3. Named: &lrhard; is the HTML5 name for this character.

4. CSS: use \296D in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥭ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Right Harpoon With Barb Down Below Long Dash.

Look-alikes

⥭ ≠ ⥬ ≠ ⇁

&lrhard; (below dash), &rharul; (above dash), and single &rhard; are different characters.

Name

`&lrhard;` ≠ `&llhard;` ≠ `&lrhar;`

Use the exact spelling &lrhard;. Nearby names map to different Unicode points.

Fonts

Glyph may be missing

Supplemental Arrows-B coverage varies. Test on your target devices or provide a fallback font.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\296D belongs in CSS. &lrhard; / ⥭ / ⥭ belong in HTML.

Add nearby words

Pair the glyph with equation text or use aria-label when it stands alone.
