Definition

What Is the Jupiter Entity?

Jupiter (♃) is the Miscellaneous Symbols character at Unicode U+2643 (JUPITER). It denotes the planet Jupiter in astronomy and astrology.

Remember

Character     ♃
Unicode       U+2643
Hex entity    &#x2643;
Decimal       &#9795;
CSS escape    \2643
Named entity  (none)

All of these produce the same glyph: ♃ (when the font supports U+2643). Prefer numeric entities in HTML; use CSS \2643 only in content.

Reference

Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to produce ♃ in a single document.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Jupiter (♃) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2643";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x2643;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#9795;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ♃</p>
  <p>Labeled: &#x2643; Jupiter</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2643 → ♃ in HTML. The browser turns it into ♃.

2. Decimal: same code point as 9795 → ♃. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \2643 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ♃ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed: in UTF-8 you can type ♃ directly — same visual result when the font supports it.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with the Jupiter symbol.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+2643. Use numeric forms.

A11y

Label the planet

Add “Jupiter” nearby or use aria-label so the symbol is not silent to assistive tech.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2643 belongs in CSS. ♃ / ♃ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Miscellaneous Symbols

Use fonts that include U+2643 so the glyph is not missing.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ♃, not &#9795.

Default

Type ♃ when you can

On UTF-8 pages you may type ♃ directly; entities help when encoding must be explicit.

Jupiter (U+2643) and its numeric entity forms (♃, ♃, CSS \\2643) are supported in all mainstream browsers when the font includes Miscellaneous Symbols.
