What Is the Right Triple Dash Arrow Entity?

Right Triple Dash Arrow (⤏) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+290F (RIGHTWARDS TRIPLE DASH ARROW). It is a right-pointing arrow whose shaft is drawn as a triple dash.

Remember
Character     ⤏
Unicode       U+290F
Hex entity    ⤏
Decimal       ⤏
Named entity  ⤏   (capital B — case-sensitive)
CSS escape    \290F
Not the same  ⇛ (⇛) · → (→)

All of these produce the same glyph: ⤏. Prefer ⤏ when you want an explicit entity — mind the capital B.

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Right Triple Dash Arrow (⤏)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\290F";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x290F;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#10511;</p>
  <p>Using Named Entity: &rBarr;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p><code>Proceed &rBarr;</code></p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+290F → &#x290F; in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤏.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10511 → &#10511;. Same result as hex.

3. Named: &rBarr; is the HTML5 name — capital B is required (&rbarr; is a different entity).

4. CSS: use \290F in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤏ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Right Triple Dash Arrow.

Look-alikes

⤏ ≠ ⇛

&rBarr; is dashed. &rAarr; is a solid triple arrow. Different Unicode characters.

Case

&rBarr; ≠ &rbarr;

Named entities are case-sensitive. Capital B selects the triple-dash form.

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

\290F belongs in CSS. &rBarr; / &#x290F; / &#10511; belong in HTML.

A11y

Add nearby words

Pair the glyph with label text (for example Proceed &rBarr;) or use aria-label when it stands alone.

Semicolon

End references

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