💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#x2918; or &#10520; for HTML markup
  • Add aria-label or surrounding text for accessibility
  • Distinguish ⤘ from ⤖ (plain tail), ⤗ (single stroke), and ⤁ (no tail)
  • Verify your font supports Supplemental Arrows-B (U+2918)
  • Keep one entity style per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Confuse ⤘ with ⤖, ⤗, or ⤁
  • Assume a named HTML entity exists—there is none for U+2918
  • Use CSS \2918 inside HTML text nodes
  • Rely on the arrow alone without context for screen readers
  • Mix entity styles randomly in one file
  • Assume all fonts render supplemental arrow glyphs identically
