Remember
Character ⤼
Unicode U+293C
Named entity ⤼
Hex entity ⤼
Decimal ⤼
CSS escape \293C
Not the same ⤽ · ↻ · ↷
Prefer ⤼ in HTML markup. Numeric forms and typing ⤼ in UTF-8 also work. For the anticlockwise-plus sibling, use ⤽ (⤽).
Using Named Entity: ⤼
Using Hex Code: ⤼
Using HTML Code: ⤼
Using CSS Entity: ⤼
Typed directly: ⤼
Label: Reduce ⤼
How It Works
1. Named:⤼ is the clearest HTML form for U+293C.
2. Hex:U+293C → ⤼ in HTML. Same glyph as the named entity.
3. Decimal: same code point as 10556 → ⤼. Same glyph as hex and named.
4. CSS: use \293C in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤼ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed / label: paste ⤼ in UTF-8, or write Reduce ⤼ for a short UI label.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+293C.
vs ⤽
Not the anticlockwise-plus form
⤽ (⤽) is anticlockwise with a plus. Direction and sign both differ from ⤼.
vs ↻
Not an open-circle arrow
↻ (U+21BB) is the common clockwise open circle arrow. U+293C is a top-arc form that includes a minus.
Name
Remember ⤼
The name hints at curved right arrow with minus. Do not invent names like &toparcminus;.
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
\293C 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 “reduce” or “rotate clockwise minus” when the arrow carries meaning.

Use it when your UI or math notation needs the top-arc clockwise arrow that includes a minus — not as a substitute for a plain clockwise open-circle arrow.
HTML entities (⤼, ⤼, or ⤼) go in markup. The CSS escape \293C goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
