Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &rbbrk; is the HTML5 name for U+2773 → ❳. Prefer this for readable source.

2. Hex: U+2773 → ❳ in HTML. Same glyph as named.

3. Decimal: same code point as 10099 → ❳.

4. CSS: use \2773 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ❳ after the paragraph text.

5. Pair: open ornamental frames with &lbbrk; (U+2772). Do not use a plain [ as the visual match.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Light Right Tortoise Shell Bracket Ornament.

Pair

Open with `&lbbrk;`

The matching left ornament is U+2772. Using [ or { breaks the decorative pair.

Look-alikes

Not a plain `]`

Square brackets are for code and lists. This Dingbat is for ornamental framing only.

Fonts

Dingbat coverage

Most modern fonts include U+2773, but verify on target devices if the ornament is critical.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2773 belongs in CSS. &rbbrk; / ❳ / ❳ belong in HTML.

A11y

Keep meaning in words

Ornaments are decorative. Put the real title text between the brackets so screen readers still hear the content.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &rbbrk;, not &rbbrk.
