What Is the Right Harpoon With Barb Up Above Right Harpoon With Barb Down Entity?
Right Harpoon With Barb Up Above Right Harpoon With Barb Down (⥤) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+2964 (RIGHTWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB UP ABOVE RIGHTWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB DOWN). It stacks two rightwards harpoons: barb up on top, barb down below.

Unicode U+2964
Hex entity ⥤
Decimal ⥤
Named entity ⥤
CSS escape \2964
Not the same ⇀ (⇀) · ⇁ (⇁) · ⥩ (⥩)

How It Works
1. Hex:U+2964 → ⥤ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥤.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10596 → ⥤. Same result as hex.
3. Named:⥤ is the HTML5 name for this character (note the capital H).
4. CSS: use \2964 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥤ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this stacked harpoon.
Look-alikes
⥤ ≠ ⇀ ≠ ⇁ ≠ ⥩
⥤ is a stacked pair. Single ⇀ / ⇁ and ⥩ are different characters.
Case
⥤ ≠ &rhar;
The capital H matters. Write ⥤ exactly as shown.
