HTML Entity for Division Times (⋇)
What You'll Learn
How to display the Division Times symbol (⋇) in HTML using named, hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS entity methods. This character is U+22C7 (DIVISION TIMES) in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF) and denotes the division-times operation in advanced mathematics (division combined with multiplication).
Render it with the named entity ⋇, ⋇, ⋇, or CSS escape \22C7 in the content property. Do not confuse with Division (÷, ÷) or Division Slash (∕).

🧠 How It Works
Named Entity
⋇ is the HTML named entity for the Division Times symbol — easy to remember and readable in source code.
Hexadecimal Code
⋇ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 22C7 to display the Division Times symbol. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.
Decimal HTML Code
⋇ uses the decimal Unicode value 8903 to display the same character.
CSS Entity
\22C7 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.
Same visual result
All four methods produce the Division Times glyph: ⋇. Unicode U+22C7 is in Mathematical Operators. For ÷, see Division; for ∕, see Division Slash.
Use Cases
The Division Times symbol (⋇) commonly appears in the following scenarios:
Advanced expressions and ring theory using the division-times operator.
Documentation listing mathematical operators including ⋇.
University math, physics, and engineering pages with formal notation.
Logic and set operations where division-times appears in proofs.
Scientific articles and API docs with division-times in formulas.
HTML entity references for math and research projects.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Use
⋇for readable HTML source - Use fonts that cover Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF)
- Pair ⋇ with text or ARIA (“division times”) where helpful
- Pick one entity style per project for consistency
- Distinguish ⋇ from ÷ (divide) and × (times)
Don’t
- Use ⋇ when you mean arithmetic division (÷)
- Confuse ⋇ with × (multiplication sign) or ⋅ (dot operator)
- Use CSS escape
\22C7inside HTML markup - Mix hex, decimal, and named styles randomly in one file
- Forget UTF-8 (
<meta charset="utf-8">) in your document
