Single Right-Pointing Angle Quotation Mark ›

The Single Right-Pointing Angle Quotation Mark 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+203A in the Universal Character Set.

The single right-pointing angle quotation mark closes single guillemet quotations and is frequently used in web UIs as a compact forward arrow. It provides a cleaner, more typographic alternative to the greater-than sign for navigation indicators and breadcrumb separators.

Punctuation and whitespace entities are among the most frequently used HTML entities in web development. They handle characters that either have special meaning in HTML syntax — such as angle brackets and ampersands — or represent typographic characters that improve the visual quality of text, like em dashes and curly quotes. Proper use of punctuation entities is essential for producing valid, well-formed HTML documents and achieving professional-looking typography on the web.

When deciding how to encode the Single Right-Pointing Angle Quotation Mark 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 single right guillemet to close quotations opened with ‹, as a compact forward indicator in navigation (Next ›), or as a breadcrumb separator. It is lighter than » and works well in tight UI spaces where a full arrow icon would be too large.
