What You'll Learn

How to display the Up Triple Arrow (⤊) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. This character is U+290A (UPWARDS TRIPLE ARROW) in the Supplemental Arrows-B block (U+2900–U+297F)—a vertical triple arrow pointing upward, used in navigation, UI design, mathematical notation, and technical content.

Render it with ⤊, ⤊, or CSS escape \290A. There is no named HTML entity for this symbol. Compare ⟰ (quadruple up, U+27F0) or ⇑ (⇑, double up) when you need a different stroke count.

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x290A; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 290A to display the Up Triple Arrow. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#10506; uses the decimal Unicode value 10506 to display the same character.

HTML markup
3

CSS Entity

\290A is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

CSS stylesheet
=

Same visual result

All three methods produce: . Unicode U+290A. No named HTML entity—use numeric codes in markup. Serve HTML as UTF-8.

Use Cases

The Up Triple Arrow (⤊) is commonly used in:

🔝 Scroll to top

Back-to-top controls with stronger emphasis than a single or double arrow.

💻 UI and navigation

Menus, buttons, and interfaces indicating strong upward movement.

∑ Math notation

Strong upward relations or emphasis in mathematical notation.

📊 Flowcharts

Show strong triple upward flow in process and logic diagrams.

📖 Documentation

Explain sort order, priority, or upward steps in developer docs.

🎨 Web design

Symbol pickers or design systems that include multi-stroke arrows.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#x290A; or &#10506; consistently in markup
  • Add aria-label when the symbol means scroll up or move upward
  • Pair ⤊ with a legend in technical documents
  • Use \290A in CSS ::before / ::after for up-arrow icons
  • Serve pages with UTF-8 (<meta charset="utf-8">)

Don’t

  • Expect a named entity—none exists for U+290A
  • Confuse ⤊ (triple up) with ⟰ (quadruple up) or ⇑ (&uArr;, double up)
  • Put CSS escape \290A in HTML text nodes
  • Rely on the symbol alone in accessibility-critical UIs
  • Assume decorative fonts include all Supplemental Arrows-B glyphs
