💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Choose hex or decimal and keep it consistent site-wide
  • Verify fonts include Miscellaneous Symbols (U+2600–U+26FF)
  • Document whether you use U+26E2 or legacy U+2645 for Uranus
  • Use \26E2 only inside CSS content or other CSS strings
  • Pair the symbol with the planet name on first use in general copy

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists (it does not for U+26E2)
  • Mix U+26E2 and U+2645 in one chart without a style guide
  • Show the glyph alone in critical UI with no textual backup
  • Use CSS escapes inside HTML text nodes
  • Confuse Uranus with Neptune or other planet code points
