The astronomical symbol for Uranus (⛢) is Unicode U+26E2 in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. It is the modern-style planet mark used in astronomy charts, legends, and many astrology UIs. HTML has no standard named entity — use numeric or CSS forms (or type the character in UTF-8).
Remember
Character ⛢
Unicode U+26E2
Hex entity ⛢
Decimal ⛢
Named entity (none)
CSS escape \26E2
Not the same ♅ (U+2645, older Uranus)
All of these produce the same glyph: ⛢. Prefer typing ⛢ in UTF-8 when you can; use ⛢ / ⛢ or CSS for generated content.
Uranus using Hex Code: ⛢
Uranus using HTML Code: ⛢
Uranus using CSS Entity: ⛢
Typed directly: ⛢
How It Works
1. Hex:U+26E2 → ⛢ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⛢.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9954 → ⛢. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \26E2 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 Uranus astronomical symbol (⛢).
Named
No &name; form
U+26E2 has no standard named entity — use ⛢ or ⛢.
U+2645
Do not mix Uranus glyphs
♅ (U+2645) is a different Uranus mark. Pick one convention per chart.
Fonts

CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\26E2 belongs in CSS. ⛢ / ⛢ belong in HTML.

Add plain-language labels
Screen readers may not speak “Uranus.” Pair the glyph with visible text or an accessible name.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⛢, not ⛢.
