💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &cularrp; for readable source markup
  • Add aria-label (e.g. “Undo” or “Reset”) for accessibility
  • Verify fonts support Supplemental Arrows-B (U+293D)
  • Pair the symbol with text labels in control panels
  • Test rendering across browsers and font stacks

Don’t

  • Confuse ⤽ (plus variant) with ⤺ (base anticlockwise arrow)
  • Confuse ⤽ with ⤼ (top arc clockwise arrow minus)
  • Put CSS escape \293D directly in HTML text nodes
  • Rely on the symbol alone without accessible text in buttons
