Division times (⋇) is the Unicode character at U+22C7 in the Mathematical Operators block. Official name: DIVISION TIMES. It is a specialized math operator (sometimes described as division combined with multiplication), not ordinary ÷ or ×.

Prefer ⋇ in HTML markup. You can also type ⋇ in UTF-8, or use numeric forms when needed.

How It Works
1. Named:⋇ is the HTML5 name for U+22C7 → ⋇. Best default in markup.
2. Hex:U+22C7 → ⋇ in HTML. Same glyph as the named form.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8903 → ⋇. Same result as hex and named.
4. CSS: use \22C7 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⋇ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed / expression: paste ⋇ in UTF-8, or write <em>a</em> ⋇ <em>b</em> for a simple operator example.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Division Times.
÷
Not the division sign
Use ÷ for arithmetic ÷. Use ⋇ only for U+22C7.
×
Not multiplication
× (×) is multiplication. Different operator from division times.
Name
Remember ⋇
There is no &divisiontimes;. The HTML5 name is ⋇.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22C7 belongs in CSS strings. ⋇ / ⋇ / ⋇ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Math font coverage
Some fonts omit U+22C7. Prefer a font with Mathematical Operators coverage for display.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⋇, not &divonx.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Division times (U+22C7) and its entity forms (⋇, ⋇, ⋇, CSS \\22C7) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on math font coverage.
✓ Universal support

Bottom line: Prefer ⋇ in HTML. Use ⋇ or ⋇ when numeric form is required, and \\22C7 only inside CSS content.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use ⋇ (named), ⋇ (hex), ⋇ (decimal), type ⋇ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \22C7 in content. Prefer ⋇ in normal HTML.
U+22C7 (DIVISION TIMES). Hex 22C7, decimal 8903. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. Use ⋇. Numeric forms ⋇ and ⋇ also work.
Use it in advanced mathematics when a text or formula calls for the division-times operator, not ordinary ÷ or ×.
HTML entities (⋇, ⋇, or ⋇) go in markup. The CSS escape \22C7 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. ⋇ is U+22C7 (division times). ÷ is U+00F7 (÷). × is U+00D7 (×). They are different operators.
