How It Works
1. Hex:U+2946 → ⥆ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥆.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10566 → ⥆. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2946 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.
