In today’s post, we’ll learn how to display chevron in HTML.

Chevron in HTML

An inverted V design is called a chevron. Chevron symbols are frequently used in software to expand menus or show features that aren’t immediately obvious.

Syntax:

The › is an ASCII character used to generate the right Chevron, while the ‹ is an ASCII character used to generate the left Chevron.

We don’t think there is much distinction between the two on the modern web. However, Chevron functions well for drop-down menus and Caret for accordions when considering the users’ mental models.

Let’s use the following example to understand the mentioned idea.

<p>&rsaquo;</p>
<p>&lsaquo;</p>

In the preceding sample, we are printing both left and right chevron using the ASCII characters.

Run the above line of code in any browser compatible with HTML. It will display the following outcome.
