Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+296C → ⥬ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥬.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10604 → ⥬. Same result as hex.

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

4. CSS: use \296C 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 Up Above Long Dash.

Look-alikes

⥬ ≠ ⥭ ≠ ⇀

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

Name

`&rharul;` ≠ `&rharu;` ≠ `&lrhard;`

Use the exact spelling &rharul;. 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

\296C belongs in CSS. &rharul; / ⥬ / ⥬ belong in HTML.

A11y

Add nearby words

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

Semicolon

End references

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