🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x2900; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 2900 for the right two headed arrow with vertical stroke. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#10496; uses the decimal Unicode value 10496 to display the same character.

HTML markup
3

CSS Entity

\2900 is used in CSS stylesheets in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::after.

CSS stylesheet
=

Same visual result

All three methods produce ⤀. Unicode U+2900 is in the Supplemental Arrows-B block. There is no named HTML entity. Previous: Right Two Headed Arrow Tail Vertical Stroke (U+2917).

Use Cases

The Right Two Headed Arrow Vertical Stroke (⤀) is commonly used in:

⇄ Bidirectional Indicators

Show two-way relationships with vertical stroke emphasis.

∑ Mathematical Notation

Use in equations and logical expressions requiring this arrow variant.

📊 Flowcharts

Indicate bidirectional flow with vertical stroke modifiers.

📄 Technical Diagrams

Include in architecture and system diagrams with specialized arrow notation.

🛠 Process Flows

Document workflows with two-headed transitions and vertical stroke markers.

📚 Documentation

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#x2900; or &#10496; for HTML markup
  • Add aria-label or surrounding text for accessibility
  • Distinguish ⤀ from ↠ (plain two headed), ⤁ (double stroke), and ⤗ (tail variant)
  • Verify your font supports Supplemental Arrows-B (U+2900)
  • Keep one entity style per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Confuse ⤀ with ↠, ⤁, or ⤗
  • Assume a named HTML entity exists—there is none for U+2900
  • Use CSS \2900 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

Key Takeaways

1

Two HTML references plus CSS all render ⤀

&#x2900; &#10496;
2

For CSS, use \2900 in the content property
