I am considering using this neat text arrow () in a new website. It works well in Chrome and Firefox as expected. And, of course, not at all in Internet Explorer. Not even in Edge...

Can I make it work in IE as well?

  • I already tried using the arrow as it is or as HTML entity 🡨 instead
  • I am already using <meta charset="utf-8">

Update

The solution presented in Unicode characters and Internet Explorer does not work for this character, as this demo shows:

<p style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS;">&#9398;</p> <!-- works in IE -->
<p style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS;">&#129128;</p> <!-- does not :( -->

This is how it looks in IE (Edge):

    you could try telling your clients to get out of 2008 – L_Church Jan 30 '18 at 15:40
  • for real though, try researching before you ask since i've found something here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3027448/unicode-characters-and-internet-explorer – L_Church Jan 30 '18 at 15:41
  • FWIW, macOS doesn't know this character yet either in any default font… – deceze Jan 30 '18 at 15:49
  • I'm using the latest Firefox on Windows and `U+1F868` is not showing up, even when using Unicode fonts like Lucida Sans Unicode and Arial Unicode MS. So, you are best off just using an image instead of a Unicode character. – Remy Lebeau Jan 30 '18 at 17:59
  • @L_Church To be fair using Edge is a legit attempt to get out of 2008. – roeland Jan 30 '18 at 20:17

Not the very same character, but the best alternative (using an arrow to the right, and rotating it 180°).

<span style="display:inline-block; transform: rotate(180deg);">➔</span>
