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 Vertical Stroke (U+2900)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2900";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x2900;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#10496;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed: ⤀</p>
  <p><code>Link &#x2900;</code></p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2900 → ⤀ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤀.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10496 → ⤀. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \2900 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 Vertical Stroke.

Name

No named entity

HTML5 has no name for U+2900. Use ⤀ or ⤀. Do not invent a fake named reference.

Look-alikes

⤀ ≠ ↠ ≠ ⤁

&Rarr; has no stroke mark. ⤁ has a double stroke. ⤀ has a single 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

\2900 belongs in CSS. ⤀ / ⤀ belong in HTML.

A11y

Add nearby words

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

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ⤀, not &#x2900.
