Farsi symbol (☫) is the Unicode character at U+262B in Miscellaneous Symbols. Official name: FARSI SYMBOL (also associated with the symbol of Iran). Use it when you need this specific emblem glyph — not for everyday Persian text.
Remember
Character ☫
Unicode U+262B
Hex entity ☫
Decimal ☫
CSS escape \262B
Named entity (none)
Not the same ☮ (peace) · ☯ (yin yang) · Persian letters
Prefer ☫ or ☫ in HTML (no named form). You can also type ☫ in a UTF-8 document.
Built with Hex: ☫
Built with Decimal: ☫
Built with CSS: ☫
Typed: ☫
Symbol: ☫
How It Works
1. Hex:☫ inserts code point U+262B → ☫.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9771 → ☫. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \262B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ☫.
4. Typed: paste ☫ in a UTF-8 document when you need the emblem itself.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Farsi symbol.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+262B. Use ☫ or ☫. Do not invent &farsi;.
Text
Not Persian letters
Writing Farsi/Persian content means typing Arabic script characters in UTF-8. U+262B is a single emblem, not an alphabet.
☮
Not the peace symbol
U+262E (☮) is a different Miscellaneous Symbol — do not substitute it for Farsi symbol.
☯
Not yin yang
U+262F (☯) is the next code point after U+262B’s neighbors — a different glyph and meaning.
Font
Font coverage
Miscellaneous Symbols glyphs may be missing in some fonts. Prefer a font with symbol coverage, or use an image/SVG if the glyph must always render.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\262B belongs in CSS strings. ☫ / ☫ belong in HTML.

Add accessible text
Screen readers may not announce ☫ clearly. Prefer nearby prose (for example “Farsi symbol”) when the emblem carries meaning.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ☫, not ☫.
