A reference can be used to add special characters/symbols to an HTML webpage, an entity name, an entity number, or hexadecimal.

There are three methods for adding arrows in HTML:
- entity number
- entity name
- hexadecimal reference

# Up arrow
| Method    |  Up arrow   |
| --- | --- |
| entity number    | `&#8593`    |
| entity name    |  `&uarr`   |
|  hexadecimal reference   | `&#x2191`    |

# Down arrow
| Method    |  Down arrow   |
| --- | --- |
| entity number    | `&#8595`    |
| entity name    |  `&darr`   |
|  hexadecimal reference   | `&#x2193`    |

# Right arrow
| Method    |  Right arrow   |
| --- | --- |
| entity number    | `&#8594`    |
| entity name    |  `&rarr`   |
|  hexadecimal reference   | `&#x2192`    |

# Left arrow
| Method    |  Left arrow   |
| --- | --- |
| entity number    | `&#8592`    |
| entity name    |  `&larr`   |
