What Is the Right Side Arc Clockwise Arrow Entity?
Right Side Arc Clockwise Arrow (⤸) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+2938 (RIGHT-SIDE ARC CLOCKWISE ARROW). It is a curved arrow that turns clockwise from the right side — useful in diagrams and rotation cues.
Remember
Character ⤸
Unicode U+2938
Hex entity ⤸
Decimal ⤸
Named entity ⤸
CSS escape \2938
Not the same ⤹ (⤹) · ↶ (↶) · → (→)
All of these produce the same glyph: ⤸. Prefer ⤸ when you want an explicit entity (names are case-sensitive — write it exactly).
Using Hex Code: ⤸
Using HTML Code: ⤸
Using Named Entity: ⤸
Using CSS Entity: ⤸
Turn ⤸
How It Works
1. Hex:U+2938 → ⤸ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤸.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10552 → ⤸. Same result as hex.
3. Named:⤸ is the HTML5 name for this character.
4. CSS: use \2938 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤸ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Right Side Arc Clockwise Arrow.
Look-alikes
⤸ ≠ ⤹ ≠ →
⤸ (right-side clockwise), ⤹ (left-side anticlockwise), and single → are different characters.
Name
Match the spelling exactly
Use ⤸. Nearby names like ⤹ and ↶ map to other 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
\2938 belongs in CSS. ⤸ / ⤸ / ⤸ belong in HTML.

Add nearby words
Pair the glyph with text like Rotate or use aria-label when it stands alone.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⤸, not &cudarrl.
