What You'll Learn

How to display the Cada Una (℆) in HTML using numeric references and CSS escapes. This character is U+2106 (CADA UNA) in the Letterlike Symbols block (U+2100–U+214F), approved in Unicode 1.1 (1993). It is a Spanish abbreviation for cada una (“each one”)—visually c/u with a slash between the letters.

In Spanish pricing, it marks per-unit cost (e.g. 4 € ℆ = four euros each), comparable to writing ea. on English price tags. Unicode decomposes it as c + / + u. There is no named HTML entity; use ℆, ℆, or \2106 in CSS.
