What Is the Up Barb Right Down Barb Right Harpoon Entity?

Up Barb Right Down Barb Right Harpoon (⥏) is the Unicode character at U+294F (UPWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB RIGHT BESIDE DOWNWARDS HARPOON WITH BARB RIGHT) in Supplemental Arrows-B. It pairs an up harpoon and a down harpoon with both barbs facing right — for specialized math and technical notation.

Remember
Character     ⥏
Unicode       U+294F
Hex entity    ⥏
Decimal       ⥏
CSS escape    \294F
Named entity  (none)

All of these produce the same glyph: ⥏. For everyday up/down UI, prefer ordinary arrows such as ↑.

Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

All four ways to produce ⥏ in a single document (plus a short expression).

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Up Barb Right Down Barb Right Harpoon</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\294F";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x294F;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#10575;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: &#x294F;</p>
  <p>f &#x294F; g</p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+294F → &#x294F; in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10575 → &#10575;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \294F in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / expression: fine in UTF-8 pages. The f ⥏ g line shows the symbol between labels.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this harpoon.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+294F. Use numeric forms.

Look-alikes

Barb orientation matters

U+294F is both barbs right. U+294C is barb right / barb left. U+2951 is both barbs left.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\294F belongs in CSS. &#x294F; / &#10575; belong in HTML.

Fonts

Check the glyph

Supplemental Arrows-B coverage varies. If the mark is missing, describe the relation in nearby text.

A11y

Do not rely on the icon alone

Screen readers may not name this harpoon clearly. Keep explanatory labels nearby.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#10575;, not &#10575.
