Use Cases

The Up Harpoon Barb Right From Bar (⥜) is commonly used in:

Equations and limits using harpoon arrows extending from a bar or baseline.

📜 Vector diagrams

Physics and engineering diagrams showing upward vectors originating from a bar.

🎨 UI design

💻 Scientific content

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#x295C; or &#10588; consistently in markup
  • Add aria-label when the harpoon conveys mathematical or navigation meaning
  • Use harpoon-from-bar symbols in proper mathematical or vector contexts
  • Use \295C in CSS ::before / ::after for icon buttons
  • Serve pages with UTF-8 (<meta charset="utf-8">)

Don’t

  • Use U+0295C or CSS \0295C—the correct value is U+295C and \295C
  • Confuse ⥜ (from bar) with ⥔ (to bar, U+2954)
  • Put CSS escape \295C in HTML text nodes
  • Rely on the symbol alone without context in accessibility-critical UIs
  • Assume all decorative fonts include Supplemental Arrows-B glyphs
