1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x27B3; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 27B3 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#10163; uses the decimal Unicode value 10163 to display the same character. A common method for symbol characters in HTML.

♿ Accessibility

Pair ➳ with visible text or aria-label; do not rely on the glyph alone.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use ➳ for a decorative outline right arrow; use ➲ for the filled black feathered variant
  • Pair arrow glyphs with accessible text like “Next” or aria-label
  • Pick one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency
  • Use fonts that support Dingbats characters
  • Test rendering across browsers and devices

Don’t

  • Confuse ➳ (white feathered) with ➲ (black feathered) or → (&rarr;)
  • Use the arrow glyph as the only navigation cue for critical actions
  • Mix entity styles randomly in one file
  • Use CSS escape \27B3 inside HTML markup
  • Expect a named HTML entity—none exists for ➳
