How It Works
1. Hex:❜ inserts code point U+275C → ❜.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10076 → ❜. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \275C in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ❜.
4. Typed: paste ❜ in a UTF-8 document when you need this dingbat. Pair with ❛ for a matched pull quote, and keep ’ for everyday prose.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with heavy single comma quotation mark ornament.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+275C. Use ❜ or ❜. Do not invent &heavysquote;. For prose, use ’.
❛
Pair with the turned opening form
The matching opening ornament is ❛ (U+275B). This page is the closing-style form ❜.
’
Not ’
’ is ’ (U+2019) — everyday punctuation. Heavy single comma quotation mark ornament is ❜ — decorative Dingbats.
❞
Not the double form
Heavy double comma quotation mark ornament is ❞ (U+275E). This page is the single ornament ❜.
Font
Font coverage
Some fonts omit Dingbats. If ❜ is missing, fall back to ’ or a font with U+275C coverage.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\275C belongs in CSS strings. ❜ / ❜ belong in HTML.
