Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+21F2 → &#x21F2; in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 8690 → &#8690;. Same glyph as hex.

3. CSS: use \21F2 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⇲ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / UI: paste ⇲ in UTF-8, or write Jump to bottom-right &#x21F2; for a short corner hint.

5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+21F2 — use numeric references or type the character.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+21F2.

vs ↘

Not a simple SE arrow

U+2198 (↘, &searr;) is a plain diagonal. U+21F2 is specifically the “to corner” form.

vs ⇱

Not NW to corner

⇱ (U+21F1) points to the north-west corner. Do not swap it with ⇲.

Named

No named HTML entity

There is no &secorner;. Use &#x21F2; or &#8690;.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\21F2 belongs in CSS strings. &#x21F2; / &#8690; belong in HTML.

A11y

Do not rely on the glyph alone

Add nearby text like “bottom-right” or an aria-label when the arrow is the only control label.

Semicolon

End numeric entities

Always finish with ; — write &#x21F2;, not &#x21F2.
