Prefer ⤦ in HTML markup (⤦ is an alias). You can also type ⤦ in UTF-8, or use numeric forms when needed. Use a font that includes Supplemental Arrows-B for a clear glyph.

How It Works
1. Named:⤦ is the HTML5 name for U+2926 → ⤦. Best default in markup.
2. Hex:U+2926 → ⤦ in HTML. Same glyph as the named form.
3. Decimal: same code point as 10534 → ⤦. Same result as hex and named.
4. CSS: use \2926 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤦ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed / UI: paste ⤦ in UTF-8, or write Return path ⤦ … for a short hooked-arrow hint.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with ⤦.
vs ↙
Not a simple SW arrow
U+2199 (↙, ↙) has no hook. U+2926 is the hooked form — different characters.
vs ⤥
Not SE with hook
⤥ (U+2925, ⤥) is south east arrow with hook. Do not swap it with ⤦.
Name
Remember ⤦
The named entity is ⤦ — not ↙ (that is U+2199).
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2926 belongs in CSS strings. ⤦ / ⤦ / ⤦ 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.

Describe the hook
Add nearby text like “return path” when the hooked arrow carries meaning on its own.
