In this video, I break down a super practical UI detail: how to create arrows in HTML5. Since HTML is the foundation of web content, I like keeping this topic beginner-friendly and straight to the point. I cover three common ways to make arrows—HTML entities, CSS, and SVG—so you can pick the method that fits your use case (simple icons vs. fully custom shapes). First, I show how HTML entities work: predefined symbols that start with an ampersand and end with a semicolon. For example, using the right-arrow entity renders a clean arrow instantly on the page. Then I move to CSS arrows, where I use the border property to “fake” an arrow shape—more customizable than entities, but it can confuse beginners if the border values aren’t understood. Finally, I explain SVG arrows using a polyline, which gives you the most control over the arrow’s shape and styling, but it’s also the most detailed method. I also call out common mistakes—missing semicolons in entities, not closing SVG tags, and misunderstanding CSS borders—so your arrows render correctly every time.
