Account Of (℀) is the Letterlike Symbols character at Unicode U+2100. It is the standard typographic abbreviation for “account of,” used in accounting and formal documents. You can paste ℀ in UTF-8 HTML, or write it with a numeric character reference when you need an explicit entity form.
Remember

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<style>
#point::after {
content: "\2100";
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Account Of using Hex Code: ℀</p>
<p>Account Of using HTML Code: ℀</p>
<p id="point">Account Of using CSS Entity: </p>
<p>Typed directly: ℀</p>
</body>
</html>
Account Of using Hex Code: ℀
Account Of using HTML Code: ℀
Account Of using CSS Entity: ℀
Typed directly: ℀
How It Works
1. Hex:U+2100 → ℀ in HTML. The browser turns it into ℀.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8448 → ℀. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2100 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ℀ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ℀: fine in UTF-8 source. All four lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the Account Of entity.
Named?
No &accountof;
HTML5 does not define a named entity for this letterlike symbol. Use numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2100 belongs in CSS. ℀ / ℀ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Check Letterlike coverage
Some webfonts omit U+2100. Test your real body font or rely on system fallbacks.
Meaning
Add context
Write phrases like “Payment ℀ …” so readers and assistive tech understand the abbreviation.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ℀, not ℀.

Not Care Of or @
℅ (care of) and @ are different Unicode characters — do not substitute them for ℀.
