Remember
Character ⥁
Unicode U+2941
Hex entity ⥁
Decimal ⥁
Named entity (none)
CSS escape \2941
All of these produce the same glyph: ⥁. Prefer a typed ⥁ or hex ⥁ in hand-written HTML; use decimal when generating numeric-only markup.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+2941 → ⥁ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥁.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10561 → ⥁. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2941 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 Clockwise Closed Circle Arrow entities.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named reference for U+2941. Use ⥁ or ⥁.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2941 belongs in CSS. ⥁ / ⥁ belong in HTML.
⥁ vs ↻
Different characters
⥁ is U+2941 (closed). Open circle ↻ is U+21BB (↻).

Do not rely on the glyph alone
Pair ⥁ with text (or an accessible name) so screen-reader users get the same meaning — e.g. “Refresh”.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⥁, not ⥁.
Fonts
Coverage varies
Supplemental Arrows-B glyphs may be missing in some fonts. If ⥁ falls back to a box, use SVG or a related arrow with wider support.
