How It Works
1. Hex:U+268D → ⚍ in HTML. Preferred when there is no named entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9869 → ⚍. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \268D in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⚍ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed: paste ⚍ in UTF-8 when the page is encoded as UTF-8.
5. Series / a11y: digrams U+268C–U+268F are consecutive. The series line uses aria-label so screen readers get a clear name for the group.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Digram Lesser Yang.
Name
No named entity
There is no &digramlesseryang; or similar. Use ⚍ or ⚍.
A11y
Name the symbol
A lone ⚍ may not announce clearly. Add nearby text or aria-label.
Trigram
Not a trigram
Trigrams (three lines, e.g. U+2630–U+2637) are different characters. This page is the two-line digram U+268D.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\268D belongs in CSS strings. ⚍ / ⚍ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Symbol font coverage
Some fonts omit digrams. Prefer a font with Miscellaneous Symbols coverage for display.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⚍, not ⚍.
