Definition

What Is Conjunction?

Conjunction (☌) is the Unicode character at U+260C in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. It is an astronomy / astrology symbol for planetary conjunction — a spacing glyph, not a combining mark, and not the logical AND operator.

Remember

Character     ☌
Unicode       U+260C
Hex entity    &#x260C;
Decimal       &#9740;
CSS escape    \260C
Named entity  (none for U+260C)
Not the same  ∧ U+2227 · ☍ U+260D

Prefer typing ☌ in UTF-8 HTML when your editor supports it; use ☌ or ☌ when you need an explicit entity.

Reference

Quick Reference

One table for every form you will actually use.

Form	Code	Where it goes
Direct character	`☌`	HTML text (UTF-8)
Hex entity	`☌`	HTML markup
Decimal entity	`☌`	HTML markup
CSS escape	`\260C`	Stylesheet `content`
Logical AND	`&and;` / ∧ U+2227	Boolean logic — not U+260C

When to Use Which

Situation	Use
Astronomy / astrology charts	`☌` or type `☌`
Generated / numeric-only markup	`☌` or `☌`
Generated text via `::before` / `::after`	`content: "\260C"`
Boolean / math “and”	∧ U+2227
Planetary opposition	☍ U+260D

Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to produce ☌ in a single document.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Conjunction (☌) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\260C";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Conjunction using Hex Code: &#x260C;</p>
  <p>Conjunction using HTML Code: &#9740;</p>
  <p id="point">Conjunction using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ☌</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+260C → ☌ in HTML → ☌.

2. Decimal: same code point as 9740 → ☌. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \260C in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ☌ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed: in a UTF-8 page you can paste ☌ directly. All four lines show the same glyph.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Conjunction.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 has no &…; name for U+260C. Use ☌ or ☌.

Logic

Not logical AND

For Boolean “and”, use ∧ (U+2227 / &and;). ☌ is an aspect symbol.

☍

Not opposition

☍ (U+260D) is opposition. ☌ (U+260C) is conjunction. Pick the aspect you mean.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\260C belongs in CSS strings. ☌ / ☌ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Glyph coverage varies

Some fonts omit U+260C. Test with a font that covers Miscellaneous Symbols.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ☌, not &#9740.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Conjunction (U+260C) and its numeric entity forms (☌, ☌, CSS \\260C) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on font coverage.

✓ Universal support

Conjunction (☌)

Encode with hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

U+260C / entities Full support

Bottom line: Use ☌ or ☌ in HTML for the astronomy conjunction glyph, and \\260C only inside CSS content. Prefer ∧ / &and; for logical AND.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: conjunction is U+260C (decimal 9740) — glyph ☌.
HTML: type ☌, or use ☌ / ☌ (no named entity).
CSS: use \260C inside content for generated text.
Watch out: ☌ ≠ ∧ ≠ ☍ (aspect ≠ logic ≠ opposition).

One line: U+260C → ☌ / ☌ / CSS \260C / type ☌.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I display conjunction (☌) in HTML?

Use ☌ (hex), ☌ (decimal), type ☌ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \260C in content. There is no named HTML entity for U+260C.

What is the Unicode value for conjunction?

U+260C (hex 260C, decimal 9740). It belongs to the Miscellaneous Symbols block and represents astronomical or astrological conjunction.

Is there a named HTML entity for U+260C?

No. Use numeric references like ☌ or ☌, or type the character ☌ in a UTF-8 document.

When should I use U+260C?

Use it in astronomy or astrology content that needs the conjunction glyph. For Boolean logic “and”, use ∧ (U+2227 / &and;) or the word and — not ☌.

What is the difference between HTML code and CSS entity for U+260C?

HTML entities (☌ or ☌) go in markup. The CSS escape \260C goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).

How is ☌ different from ∧ and ☍?

☌ (U+260C) is astronomical conjunction. ∧ (U+2227) is logical AND. ☍ (U+260D) is opposition — another planetary aspect symbol.

Did you know?

Conjunction is Unicode U+260C (decimal 9740) — glyph ☌ in the Miscellaneous Symbols block. It is an astronomy / astrology symbol for planetary conjunction, not the logical AND operator. HTML5 has no named entity. Do not confuse it with logical and ∧ (U+2227) or opposition ☍ (U+260D).
