How It Works
1. Hex:U+2952 → ⥒ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥒.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10578 → ⥒. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2952 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.
