How It Works
1. Hex:⚱ inserts code point U+26B1 → ⚱.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9905 → ⚱. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \26B1 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ⚱.
4. Typed / a11y: paste ⚱ in a UTF-8 document when you need the urn glyph. Mark decorative glyphs with aria-hidden="true" and keep readable text next to them.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with funeral urn.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+26B1. Use ⚱ or ⚱. Do not invent &urn;.
⚰
Not the coffin
Coffin is ⚰ (U+26B0). Funeral urn is ⚱. Related memorial symbols — different code points.
Font
Font coverage
Some fonts omit Miscellaneous Symbols. If ⚱ is missing, fall back to text or a font with U+26B1 coverage.
a11y
Do not rely on the glyph alone
Screen readers may skip or misname ⚱. Prefer nearby prose, or aria-hidden="true" on a decorative glyph plus a clear label.
Tone
Use with care
This symbol appears on sensitive memorial pages. Keep layouts respectful and avoid playful styling around it.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\26B1 belongs in CSS strings. ⚱ / ⚱ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ⚱, not ⚱.
