Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to display ✤ in HTML and CSS.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Four Club Spoked Asterisk (U+2724) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2724";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x2724;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#10020;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: ✤</p>
  <p><span aria-label="club spoked asterisk">&#x2724;</span> Highlight</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: ✤ inserts code point U+2724 → ✤.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10020 → ✤. Same visual as hex.

3. CSS: use \2724 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ✤.

4. Typed: paste ✤ in a UTF-8 document when you need this ornament as one character.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with four club spoked asterisk.

Name

No named entity

There is no HTML5 named entity for U+2724. Use ✤ or ✤. Do not invent &clubasterisk;.

Not ASCII asterisk

Type * for footnotes, wildcards, and multiplication. Reserve ✤ for decorative use.

Siblings

Pick the right Dingbat

✢ (teardrop), ✣ (balloon), and ✤ (club) look similar but are different code points. Match the glyph you need.

Font

Font coverage

Dingbats may be missing in some fonts. Prefer a font with Dingbats coverage for reliable rendering.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2724 belongs in CSS strings. ✤ / ✤ belong in HTML.

Add accessible text

Screen readers may not announce ✤ clearly. Prefer aria-label or nearby prose when the ornament carries meaning.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish entities with ; — write ✤, not &#x2724.
