Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &seswar; is the HTML5 name for U+2929 → ⤩. Best default in markup.

2. Hex: U+2929 → ⤩ in HTML. Same glyph as the named form.

3. Decimal: same code point as 10537 → ⤩. Same result as hex and named.

4. CSS: use \2929 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤩ after the paragraph text.

5. Typed / UI: paste ⤩ in UTF-8, or write Routes split &seswar; … for a short fork-point hint.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with &seswar;.

vs ↘

Not a simple SE arrow

U+2198 (↘, &searr;) is one diagonal. U+2929 combines SE and SW in one symbol.

vs ⤭

Not the crossing form

⤭ (U+292D) is SE crossing NE. U+2929 is SE and SW paired — different designs and uses.

Name

Remember &seswar;

The named entity is &seswar; — not &searr; (that is U+2198).

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2929 belongs in CSS strings. &seswar; / ⤩ / ⤩ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Check glyph coverage

Supplemental Arrows-B is missing from some UI fonts. Test on target devices or fall back to SVG icons if needed.

A11y

Describe the fork

Add nearby text like “routes split south-east and south-west” when the glyph carries meaning alone.

Remember
