How It Works

2. Decimal: same code point as 9890 → ⚢. Same visual as hex.

4. Typed: paste ⚢ in a UTF-8 document, or use it next to a label.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Doubled Female Sign.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+26A2. Use ⚢ or ⚢.
♀
Not ♀
♀ is the single female sign (U+2640, ♀). U+26A2 is the doubled form ⚢.
⚣
Not doubled male
U+26A3 is doubled male sign (⚣). Keep the two code points distinct.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\26A2 belongs in CSS strings. ⚢ / ⚢ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Symbol font coverage
Some fonts omit rare gender symbols. Prefer a font with solid Miscellaneous Symbols support.

Add accessible text
Icons alone are unclear to screen readers. Pair the glyph with visible text or an aria-label.
