How It Works
1. Hex:♨ inserts code point U+2668 → ♨.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9832 → ♨. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \2668 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ♨.
4. Typed: paste ♨ in a UTF-8 document when you need this glyph. Prefer aria-label or nearby prose such as “Hot springs” so meaning is clear to everyone.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with hot springs.
Name
No named entity
There is no HTML5 named entity for U+2668. Use ♨ or ♨. Do not invent &hotsprings;.
♥
Not a card suit
♥, ♠, ♣, and ♦ are nearby in Unicode but different glyphs and meanings.

Never use the symbol alone
Screen readers may not announce ♨ clearly. Prefer visible labels and aria-label="Hot springs" for amenities.
Font
Font coverage
Some fonts omit Miscellaneous Symbols. If ♨ is missing, fall back to text or a font with U+2668 coverage.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2668 belongs in CSS strings. ♨ / ♨ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ♨, not ♨.
