💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &rbbrk; for readable, maintainable source markup
  • Pair ❳ with ❲ (&lbbrk;) for balanced ornamental framing
  • Ensure your font supports Dingbats (U+2773) for consistent rendering
  • Use the same method (named or numeric) throughout a document for consistency
  • Serve pages with UTF-8 (<meta charset="utf-8">)

Don’t

  • Confuse ❳ with the plain right bracket ] (use the standard bracket when you mean punctuation, not decoration)
  • Put CSS escape \2773 in HTML text nodes
  • Rely on ornamental brackets alone for accessibility—use semantic markup when framing content
  • Assume every system font renders Dingbats identically—test across devices
  • Mix entity methods inconsistently in the same project
