Rightwards Arrow with Stroke ↛

The Rightwards Arrow with Stroke character (↛) is a standard HTML entity defined in the HTML specification. In HTML source code, it can be written using the named entity reference ↛, the decimal numeric character reference ↛, or the hexadecimal numeric reference ↛. The character is assigned Unicode code point U+219B in the Universal Character Set.

The rightwards arrow with stroke is a right-pointing arrow crossed by a diagonal line, indicating negation of forward movement or mapping. It is used in mathematics to express that a function or implication does not hold, and in UI to show that forward navigation is unavailable.

Arrow entities serve as directional indicators in navigation interfaces, mathematical expressions, flowcharts, and textual content throughout the web. Because they render as scalable text characters rather than bitmap images, HTML arrow entities are resolution-independent, styleable with CSS properties like color and font-size, and fully accessible to assistive technologies including screen readers.

When deciding how to encode the Rightwards Arrow with Stroke character in your HTML documents, the named entity ↛ is generally the most readable choice for developers reviewing or maintaining source code. The decimal form ↛ and hexadecimal form ↛ are equally valid alternatives that work in contexts where named entities may not be supported, or when generating HTML output programmatically from server-side code. All three representations produce identical visual output in every modern web browser.

Use the negated rightwards arrow to indicate that a forward operation is not possible, in mathematical notation for 'does not map to' or 'does not lead to,' and in disabled navigation states. It pairs with the negated leftwards arrow for complete negated navigation indicators.
