Down Arrowhead Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Down Arrowhead because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+2304, which you can use as ⌄ in HTML, \2304 in CSS, or type with Alt+8964 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Down Arrowhead is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+2304 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Down Arrowhead has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⌄ or the hex escape ⌄.
