HTML Arrow Entities
Every arrow that has a named HTML entity — from → (→) and ← (←) to double arrows like ⇒ (⇒) and long arrows like ⟶ (⟶) — with its decimal and hex references.
This tool runs entirely in your browser.
How to use the HTML Arrow Entities
- 1Search by entity name (copy, rarr), the character itself (©) or its code point (U+00A9).
- 2Filter by category: symbols, currency, arrows, mathematical, punctuation, Latin, Greek or Cyrillic.
- 3Click an entity to see and copy the named, decimal and hexadecimal forms.
What is the HTML Entity Reference?
An HTML entity is a way to write a character using only ASCII: the named reference ©, the decimal reference © and the hexadecimal reference © all produce ©. The list here is the official set of 2,231 names from the WHATWG HTML standard, grouped by the character they produce (many characters have several names, such as → and →).
In a UTF-8 page you can type most characters directly. Entities are still needed for the characters HTML itself uses — < for <, > for >, & for & and " inside attribute values — and they help for invisible characters like the non-breaking space ( ). To escape a whole block of text at once, use the HTML Entity Encoder.
Frequently asked questions
What is ?
A non-breaking space (U+00A0): it looks like a space but stops the browser from breaking the line there, so “10 kg” or “Mr. Smith” stay together.
Should I use named or numeric entities?
Both work in every modern browser. Named ones are easier to read; numeric ones work for any character, including those without a name.
Do entities need the semicolon?
Always include it. A few legacy names work without it, but omitting it can make the browser misread text that follows.
Is the HTML Entity Reference free and private?
Yes. The HTML Entity Reference is free, needs no account, and runs entirely in your browser. What you type is never sent to a server or stored.
