💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Pair ❆ with text or aria-label (e.g. “Snow”, “Winter theme”) when it conveys meaning
  • Use content: "\2746" on headings via ::before or ::after
  • Declare UTF-8 with <meta charset="utf-8">
  • Test snowflake glyph shape across fonts and platforms
  • Keep one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project
  • Use clear winter or festive context so the symbol is understood

Don’t

  • Rely on ❆ alone for accessibility-critical weather or status info
  • Confuse U+2746 (❆) with U+2744 (❄) or U+2745 (❅)
  • Expect a named HTML entity for U+2746
  • Use CSS \2746 in HTML text nodes
  • Assume every font renders the chevron snowflake identically

Key Takeaways

1

Two HTML numeric references plus CSS insert U+2746

&#x2746; &#10054;
2

For CSS, use \2746 in the content property
