What Is the Negative Circled Sans-Serif Digit Seven Entity?

Negative Circled Sans-Serif Digit Seven (➐) is the Unicode character at U+2790 in the Dingbats block. It looks like a sans-serif digit 7 on a filled circle and is common for high-contrast step markers.

Remember
Character     ➐
Unicode       U+2790
Hex entity    ➐
Decimal       ➐
CSS escape    \2790
Named entity  (none)

All of these produce the same glyph: ➐. Prefer this character when you need a filled sans-serif circled look; type plain 7 when you only need a normal digit.

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Negative Circled Sans-Serif Digit Seven (➐) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2790";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Neg. Circled Sans-Serif Seven using Hex Code: &#x2790;</p>
  <p>Neg. Circled Sans-Serif Seven using HTML Code: &#10128;</p>
  <p id="point">Neg. Circled Sans-Serif Seven using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ➐</p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2790 → &#x2790; in HTML. The browser turns it into ➐.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10128 → &#10128;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \2790 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ➐ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed ➐: fine in UTF-8 pages. All four lines show the same dingbat digit.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Negative Circled Sans-Serif Digit Seven entities.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define &negcircledsans7; or similar. Use numeric forms.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2790 belongs in CSS. &#x2790; / &#10128; belong in HTML.

➐ vs ❼ vs 7

Different characters

➐ is U+2790; filled circled ❼ is U+277C; digit 7 is U+0037.

Fonts

Check the glyph

Dingbat support varies by font. If ➐ is missing, use a fallback font or CSS badge instead.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#10128;, not &#10128.
