Four ways to produce ⤁ in a single document (no named entity).

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Right Two Headed Arrow Double Vertical Stroke (U+2901)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2901";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x2901;</p>

  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed: ⤁</p>
  <p><code>Flow &#x2901;</code></p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2901 → ⤁ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤁.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10497 → ⤁. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \2901 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤁ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed: paste ⤁ in a UTF-8 document when you prefer the character itself. There is no named entity for this code point.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Right Two Headed Arrow Double Vertical Stroke.

Name

No named entity

HTML5 has no name for U+2901. Use ⤁ or ⤁. Do not invent a fake named reference.

Look-alikes

⤁ ≠ ↠ ≠ ⤀

&Rarr; is the plain two-headed arrow. ⤀ has a single vertical stroke. ⤁ has a double stroke.

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

\2901 belongs in CSS. ⤁ / ⤁ belong in HTML.

A11y

Add nearby words

Pair the glyph with label text (for example Flow ⤁) or use aria-label when it stands alone.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ⤁, not &#x2901.
