  • Use fonts that support Supplemental Arrows-B (U+295F)
  • 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+295F
  • Use CSS \295F inside HTML text nodes
  • Confuse ⥟ with ⇁ (simple right harpoon barb down)
  • Confuse ⥟ with ⥭ (harpoon below long dash, not from bar)
  • Assume legacy systems render Supplemental Arrows-B without testing
