Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2957 → ⥗ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥗.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10583 → ⥗. Same result as hex.

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

4. CSS: use \2957 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 To Bar.

Name

Match the spelling exactly

Use &DownRightVectorBar;. Nearby names like &DownRightTeeVector; and &DownLeftVectorBar; map to other points.

Fonts

Glyph may be missing

CSS vs HTML

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

Always finish with ; — write &DownRightVectorBar;, not &DownRightVectorBar.
