Remember
Character ⤖
Unicode U+2916
Hex entity ⤖
Decimal ⤖
Named entity ⤖ (capital R — case-sensitive)
CSS escape \2916
Not the same ↠ (↠) · ↣ (↣)
All of these produce the same glyph: ⤖. Prefer ⤖ when you want an explicit entity — mind the capital R.
Using Hex Code: ⤖
Using HTML Code: ⤖
Using Named Entity: ⤖
Using CSS Entity: ⤖
Branch ⤖
How It Works
1. Hex:U+2916 → ⤖ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤖.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10518 → ⤖. Same result as hex.
3. Named:⤖ is the HTML5 name — capital R is required (↣ is the single-head tailed arrow).
4. CSS: use \2916 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 Tail.
Look-alikes
⤖ ≠ ↠ ≠ ↣
⤖ is two-headed with a tail. ↠ has no tail. ↣ is a single-head tailed arrow.
Case
⤖ ≠ ↣
Named entities are case-sensitive. Capital R selects U+2916; lowercase selects U+21A3.
