Cada Una (℆) is the Unicode character at U+2106 in the Letterlike Symbols block (official name: CADA UNA). It stands for Spanish cada una (“each one”) and often appears in price or unit labels as a compact c/u-style mark.
Remember
Character ℆
Unicode U+2106
Hex entity ℆
Decimal ℆
CSS escape \2106
Named entity (none)
All of these produce the same glyph: ℆. Prefer the Unicode character when you need that exact letterlike form; use plain text c/u or spell out “each” when the symbol is unclear or unsupported.

Cada Una using Hex Code: ℆
Cada Una using HTML Code: ℆
Cada Una using CSS Entity: ℆
Typed directly: ℆
How It Works
1. Hex:U+2106 → ℆ in HTML. The browser turns it into ℆.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8454 → ℆. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2106 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ℆ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ℆: fine in UTF-8 pages. All four lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Cada Una entities.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define &cadauna; or similar. Use numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2106 belongs in CSS. ℆ / ℆ belong in HTML.
℆ vs ℅
Different characters
℆ is U+2106 (cada una). Care of ℅ is U+2105.
Fonts
Check the glyph
Letterlike Symbols coverage varies. If ℆ is missing, fall back to c/u or “each.”
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ℆, not ℆.
Audience
Add context
Readers outside Spanish markets may not know ℆. Label prices as “each” on first use when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use ℆ (hex), ℆ (decimal), or the CSS escape \2106 in the content property. All render ℆. You can also paste ℆ directly when your file is UTF-8.
U+2106 (hex 2106, decimal 8454). Unicode names it CADA UNA. It belongs to the Letterlike Symbols block.
No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for ℆. Use numeric references like ℆ or ℆.
℆ (U+2106) means cada una (each / per item). ℅ (U+2105) means care of. They look similar but are different characters.
HTML entities (℆ or ℆) go in markup. The CSS escape \2106 is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ℆.
Use it for Spanish or multilingual price labels meaning “each” or “per unit.” For English “care of,” use ℅ (U+2105). Plain text “c/u” is fine when the symbol is unavailable.
