Definition

What Is Subset Above Right Arrow?

Subset above right arrow (⥹) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+2979 (SUBSET ABOVE RIGHT ARROW). It combines a subset relation with a rightward arrow for set-theory and mapping notation. HTML5 provides the named entity &subrarr;.

Remember

Character     ⥹
Unicode       U+2979
Named entity  &subrarr;
Hex entity    &#x2979;
Decimal       &#10617;
CSS escape    \2979

All of these produce the same glyph: ⥹. Prefer &subrarr; for readable HTML; paste ⥹ in UTF-8 when convenient.

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &subrarr; is the clearest HTML form for U+2979.

2. Hex: U+2979 → ⥹ in HTML. Reliable numeric form.

3. Decimal: same code point as 10617 → ⥹. Same glyph.

4. Direct: paste ⥹ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.

5. CSS: use \2979 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥹ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Subset Above Right Arrow.

Not ⊂

Not plain subset

⊂ (U+2282) is subset of only. ⥹ also includes a right arrow.

Not →

Not plain right arrow

→ is a simple arrow. Use &subrarr; when the subset-plus-arrow glyph is required.

⥻ is different

Superset above left arrow (U+297B) is a related but distinct Supplemental Arrows-B symbol.

Fonts

Math font coverage

Some UI fonts omit Supplemental Arrows-B. Prefer a math-capable font for display.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2979 belongs in CSS. &subrarr; / ⥹ / ⥹ belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &subrarr;, not &subrarr.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Subset above right arrow (U+2979) and its entity forms (&subrarr;, ⥹, ⥹, CSS \\2979) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.

Bottom line: Prefer &subrarr; in HTML. Use ⥹ / ⥹ when a numeric form is required, and \\2979 only inside CSS content.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this mark is U+2979 (decimal 10617) — glyph ⥹.
HTML: prefer &subrarr;, or ⥹ / ⥹.
CSS: use \2979 inside content for generated text.
Meaning: A ⥹ B — not the same as ⊂ or → alone.

One line: U+2979 → &subrarr; / ⥹ / ⥹ / CSS \2979.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I display ⥹ in HTML?

Use &subrarr; (named), ⥹ (hex), ⥹ (decimal), type ⥹ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \2979 in content.

What is the Unicode value for this mark?

U+2979 (SUBSET ABOVE RIGHT ARROW). Hex 2979, decimal 10617. It belongs to Supplemental Arrows-B (U+2900–U+297F).

Is there a named HTML entity for U+2979?

Yes. HTML5 defines &subrarr; for this character. It is equivalent to ⥹ and ⥹.

When should I use U+2979?

Use it in set theory and formal math when a subset relation is combined with a rightward arrow (mapping / directional implication). Prefer ⊂ for plain subset of (U+2282) and → for a plain right arrow.

What is the difference between HTML code and CSS entity for U+2979?

HTML entities (&subrarr;, ⥹, or ⥹) go in markup. The CSS escape \2979 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).

Is ⥹ the same as ⊂ or →?

No. ⥹ is U+2979 (subset above right arrow). ⊂ is subset of (U+2282). → is a plain right arrow (U+2192). This symbol combines both ideas in one glyph.
