Top arc anticlockwise arrow (⤺) is the Unicode character at U+293A in Supplemental Arrows-B. Official name: TOP ARC ANTICLOCKWISE ARROW — a curved arrow often used for rotate, undo, or refresh-style UI cues.
Remember
Character ⤺
Unicode U+293A
Named entity (none)
Hex entity ⤺
Decimal ⤺
CSS escape \293A
Not the same ↺ · ⤽ · ↶
Prefer ⤺ or ⤺ in HTML markup. You can also type ⤺ in UTF-8. For a simple open-circle anticlockwise arrow, use ↺ (↺) instead.
Using Hex Code: ⤺
Using HTML Code: ⤺
Using CSS Entity: ⤺
Typed directly: ⤺
Label: Undo ⤺
How It Works
1. Hex:U+293A → ⤺ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10554 → ⤺. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \293A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤺ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / label: paste ⤺ in UTF-8, or write Undo ⤺ for a short UI label.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+293A — use numeric references or type the character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+293A.
vs ↺
Not an open-circle arrow
↺ (U+21BA) is the common anticlockwise open circle arrow. U+293A is a top-arc form with a different shape.
vs ⤽
Not the plus variant
⤽ (U+293D) adds a plus sign. Use it only when your notation needs “anticlockwise + plus”.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no &toparcanticlockwisearrow; for U+293A. Use ⤺ or ⤺.
Fonts
Needs Supplemental Arrows-B coverage
Some UI fonts omit rarer arrows. Prefer a stack that includes a symbols font if the glyph must always show.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\293A belongs in CSS strings. ⤺ / ⤺ belong in HTML.
A11y
Name the action in context
Screen readers may announce this unevenly. Prefer nearby plain-language text such as “undo” or “rotate left” when the arrow carries meaning.
