Unicode U+295A
Hex entity ⥚
Decimal ⥚
Named entity (none in HTML5)
CSS escape \295A
Not the same ↼ (↼) · ⥒ (to bar)

How It Works
1. Hex:U+295A → ⥚ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥚.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10586 → ⥚. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \295A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥚ after the paragraph text.
4. No named entity: HTML5 does not define &…; for this character — stick to numeric forms.
