Complete HTML Example
One page that shows Negative Circled Sans-Serif Digit Seven with the hex entity, decimal entity, CSS escape, and a typed character. Use View Output or open the live editor.

Neg. Circled Sans-Serif Seven using HTML Code: ➐
Neg. Circled Sans-Serif Seven using CSS Entity: ➐

How It Works
1. Hex:U+2790 → ➐ in HTML. The browser turns it into ➐.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10128 → ➐. 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.
