💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &curarrm; for readable source markup
  • Choose fonts with Supplemental Arrows-B support (e.g. Cambria Math)
  • Add surrounding text or aria-label for accessibility
  • Keep one entity style per project for consistency
  • Test rendering across browsers and font stacks

Don’t

  • Confuse ⤼ (top arc clockwise minus) with ⤽ (anticlockwise plus)
  • Confuse ⤼ with ⤸ (right side arc clockwise arrow)
  • Put CSS escape \293C directly in HTML text nodes
  • Assume every arrow font renders U+293C identically
  • Use HTML entities in JS (use \u293C instead)

2
