How It Works
1. Hex:U+2792 → ➒ in HTML. The browser turns it into ➒.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10130 → ➒. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2792 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ➒ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ➒: 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 Nine entities.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define &negcircledsans9; or similar. Use numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2792 belongs in CSS. ➒ / ➒ belong in HTML.
➒ vs ❾ vs 9
Different characters
➒ is U+2792; filled circled ❾ is U+277E; digit 9 is U+0039.
Fonts
Check the glyph
Dingbat support varies by font. If ➒ is missing, use a fallback font or CSS badge instead.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ➒, not ➒.
