Definition

What Is Superset Above Left Arrow?

Superset above left arrow (⥻) is the Supplemental Arrows-B character at Unicode U+297B (SUPERSET ABOVE LEFT ARROW). It combines a superset relation with a leftward arrow for set-theory and mapping notation. HTML5 provides the named entity &suplarr;.

Remember

Character     ⥻
Unicode       U+297B
Named entity  &suplarr;
Hex entity    &#x297B;
Decimal       &#10619;
CSS escape    \297B

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

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &suplarr; is the clearest HTML form for U+297B.

2. Hex: U+297B → ⥻ in HTML. Same glyph as the named form.

3. Decimal: same code point as 10619 → ⥻. Same result as hex.

4. CSS: use \297B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥻ after the paragraph text.

5. Typed / example: paste ⥻ in UTF-8, or write A &suplarr; B for a short relation example.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Superset Above Left Arrow.

⊃

Not plain superset

⊃ (U+2283) is superset of only. ⥻ also includes a left arrow.

←

Not a plain left arrow

← is a simple arrow. Use &suplarr; when the superset-plus-arrow glyph is required.

⥹

Not subset above right arrow

&subrarr; is U+2979. Prefer &suplarr; for the superset-above-left form.

Fonts

Arrow font coverage

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

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\297B belongs in CSS. &suplarr; / ⥻ / ⥻ belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End entity references

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

Compatibility

Browser Support

Superset above left arrow (U+297B) and its entity forms (&suplarr;, ⥻, ⥻, CSS \\297B) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this mark is U+297B (decimal 10619) — glyph ⥻.
HTML: prefer &suplarr;, or ⥻ / ⥻.
CSS: use \297B inside content for generated text.
Meaning: ⥻ = superset above left arrow — not plain ⊃, not plain ←.

One line: U+297B → &suplarr; / ⥻ / ⥻ / CSS \297B.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I display ⥻ in HTML?

Use &suplarr; (named), ⥻ (hex), ⥻ (decimal), type ⥻ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \297B in content.

What is the Unicode value for this mark?

U+297B (SUPERSET ABOVE LEFT ARROW). Hex 297B, decimal 10619. It belongs to Supplemental Arrows-B (U+2900–U+297F).

Is there a named HTML entity for U+297B?

Yes. HTML5 defines &suplarr; for this character. It is equivalent to ⥻ and ⥻.

When should I use U+297B?

Use it in set theory and formal math when a superset relation is combined with a leftward arrow (mapping / directional implication). Prefer ⊃ for plain superset of (U+2283) and ← for a plain left arrow.

What is the difference between HTML code and CSS entity for U+297B?

HTML entities (&suplarr;, ⥻, or ⥻) go in markup. The CSS escape \297B goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).

No. ⥻ is U+297B (superset above left arrow). ⊃ is superset of (U+2283). ← is a plain left arrow (U+2190). This symbol combines both ideas in one glyph.
