How It Works
1. Hex:U+2685 → ⚅ in HTML. Preferred when there is no named entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9861 → ⚅. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \2685 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⚅ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / roll: paste ⚅ in UTF-8. The roll line uses aria-label so screen readers hear “Roll result: 6”, not only an unlabeled symbol.
5. Series: faces 1–6 are consecutive Unicode points U+2680–U+2685 (glyphs ⚀ … ⚅). Face 6 is the last in that set.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Die Face 6.
Name
No named entity
There is no &dieface6; or similar. Use ⚅ or ⚅.
A11y
Say the number
A lone ⚅ may not announce clearly. Add nearby text or aria-label (e.g. “rolled 6”).
Emoji
Not game-die emoji
The emoji 🎲 is a different character (often U+1F3B2). Die face 6 is specifically U+2685.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2685 belongs in CSS strings. ⚅ / ⚅ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Symbol font coverage
Some fonts omit die faces. Prefer a font with Miscellaneous Symbols coverage for display.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⚅, not ⚅.
