Adi Shakti (☬) on this page is Unicode U+262C in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. Unicode’s official name is Farsi symbol; many cultural and typography resources also use the familiar label Adi Shakti for the same glyph. You can paste ☬ in UTF-8 HTML, or write it with a numeric character reference when you need an explicit entity form.
Remember
Character ☬
Unicode U+262C
Official name Farsi symbol
Hex entity ☬
Decimal ☬
CSS escape \262C
Named entity (none)
All of these produce the same glyph: ☬. Prefer the character or a numeric entity in body text; use the CSS escape for generated content on pseudo-elements. Add nearby text so the symbol’s meaning is clear to readers and assistive technologies.

Adi Shakti using Hex Code: ☬
Adi Shakti using HTML Code: ☬
Adi Shakti using CSS Entity: ☬
Typed directly: ☬
How It Works
1. Hex:U+262C → ☬ in HTML. The browser turns it into ☬.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9772 → ☬. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \262C 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 Adi Shakti / U+262C entity.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+262C. Use numeric forms.
Name
Official vs common label
Unicode says Farsi symbol; many guides say Adi Shakti. Same code point either way.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\262C belongs in CSS. ☬ / ☬ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Check symbol coverage
Some webfonts omit U+262C. Test your real body font or rely on system fallbacks.
A11y
Do not rely on the glyph alone
Add surrounding text so the meaning is clear without depending only on the symbol.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ☬, not ☬.
