Definition

What Is the Right Two Headed Arrow From Bar Entity?

Right Two Headed Arrow From Bar (⤅) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+2905 (RIGHTWARDS TWO HEADED ARROW FROM BAR). It is a two-headed rightwards arrow emerging from a vertical bar.

Remember

Character     ⤅
Unicode       U+2905
Hex entity    &#x2905;
Decimal       &#10501;
Named entity  &Map;   (capital M — case-sensitive)
CSS escape    \2905
Not the same  &Rarr; (↠) · &mapsto; (↦)

All of these produce the same glyph: ⤅. Prefer &Map; when you want an explicit entity — mind the capital M.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Right Two Headed Arrow From Bar (⤅)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2905";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x2905;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#10501;</p>
  <p>Using Named Entity: &Map;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p><code>Exit &Map;</code></p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2905 → ⤅ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤅.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10501 → ⤅. Same result as hex.

3. Named: &Map; is the HTML5 name — capital M is required (&map; / &mapsto; are different).

4. CSS: use \2905 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤅ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Right Two Headed Arrow From Bar.

Look-alikes

⤅ ≠ ↠ ≠ ↦

&Map; is two-headed from a bar. &Rarr; has no bar. &mapsto; is a single arrow from a bar.

Case

`&Map;` ≠ `&map;`

Named entities are case-sensitive. Capital M selects U+2905; lowercase &map; is the single “maps to” 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

\2905 belongs in CSS. &Map; / ⤅ / ⤅ belong in HTML.

A11y

Add nearby words

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

Semicolon

End references

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