What Is the Up Triple Arrow Entity?

Up Triple Arrow (⤊) is the Unicode character at U+290A (UPWARDS TRIPLE ARROW) in Supplemental Arrows-B. It is a vertical triple arrow pointing upward — used for strong directional emphasis in diagrams and specialized UI.

Remember
Character     ⤊
Unicode       U+290A
Hex entity    ⤊
Decimal       ⤊
CSS escape    \290A
Named entity  (none)

All of these produce the same glyph: ⤊. For everyday double up, prefer ⇑ (U+21D1). For four strokes, see Up Quadruple Arrow (U+27F0).

Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

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 Triple Arrow</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\290A";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x290A;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#10506;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: &#x290A;</p>
  <p>Top &#x290A;</p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+290A → &#x290A; in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10506 → &#10506;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \290A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / label: fine in UTF-8 pages. The Top ⤊ line shows a common UI pattern.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this arrow.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+290A. Use numeric forms. &uArr; is double up, not triple.

Look-alikes

Stroke count matters

U+290A is triple. U+21D1 (&uArr;) is double. U+27F0 is quadruple. U+290B is triple down.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\290A belongs in CSS. &#x290A; / &#10506; belong in HTML.

Fonts

Check the glyph

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

A11y

Do not rely on the icon alone

Screen readers may not name this arrow clearly. Keep labels like “Move up” next to the glyph.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#10506;, not &#10506.

Browser Support

Up Triple Arrow (U+290A) and its numeric entity forms (&#x290A;, &#10506;, CSS \\290A) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph shape depends on the font.
