Common mistakes when working with Wave Arrow Pointing Directly Right.
Prefer
Use ⤳
The named form is clearer than numeric references and is defined in HTML5.
vs ↝
⤳ ≠ ↝
⤳ is ⤳ (U+2933). ↝ is ↝ (U+219D). Different blocks and glyphs.
vs →
Not a plain right arrow
→ is → (U+2192). Use ⤳ only when you need the wave form that points directly right.
Fonts
Need Supplemental Arrows-B coverage
Some fonts omit U+2933. Prefer fonts that cover Supplemental Arrows-B for a reliable glyph.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2933 belongs in CSS strings. ⤳ / ⤳ / ⤳ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⤳, not &rarrc.
