Definition

What Is the Up Arrow Horizontal Stroke Entity?

Up Arrow Horizontal Stroke (⤉) is the Unicode character at U+2909 (UPWARDS ARROW WITH HORIZONTAL STROKE) in Supplemental Arrows-B. It is an upward arrow with a horizontal stroke across the shaft, used for specialized navigation and UI cues.

Remember

Unicode       U+2909
Hex entity    &#x2909;
Decimal       &#10505;

All four ways to produce ⤉ in a single document (plus a short label).

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Up Arrow Horizontal Stroke</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2909";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x2909;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#10505;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: &#x2909;</p>
  <p>Move up &#x2909;</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2909 → ⤉ in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10505 → ⤉. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \2909 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / label: fine in UTF-8 pages. The “Move up” line shows the symbol with supporting text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Up Arrow Horizontal Stroke.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+2909. Use numeric forms.

Look-alikes

U+2909 ≠ ↑ ≠ ⤒ (U+2912)

Plain up is U+2191. Arrow-to-bar is U+2912. Check the code point if fonts look similar.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2909 belongs in CSS. ⤉ / ⤉ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Check the glyph

Supplemental Arrows-B coverage varies. If the mark is missing, fall back to ↑ plus wording.

A11y

Describe the action

Pair the glyph with text like “Move up” so the meaning is clear.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ⤉, not &#10505.
