How It Works
1. Hex:U+279D → ➝ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10141 → ➝. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \279D in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ➝ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / label: paste ➝ in UTF-8, or write Next ➝ for a short UI label.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+279D — use numeric references or type the character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+279D.
vs →
Not a plain right arrow
→ (→) is the standard Arrows block rightwards arrow. U+279D is a Dingbats triangle-headed style.
vs ➤
Not a black arrowhead
➤ (U+27A4) is a filled arrowhead without the same shaft style. Pick one glyph and stick to it in a UI set.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no &trianglerightarrow; for U+279D. Use ➝ or ➝.
Fonts
Needs Dingbats coverage
Some UI fonts omit Dingbats arrows. Prefer a stack that includes a symbols font if the glyph must always show.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\279D 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 “next” when the arrow carries meaning.
