Remember
Character ⚧
Unicode U+26A7
Hex entity ⚧
Decimal ⚧
CSS escape \26A7
Named entity (none)
Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ⚧. Prefer typing ⚧ in UTF-8 HTML when you can; use entities when encoding must be explicit.
Using Hex Code: ⚧
Using HTML Code: ⚧
Using CSS Entity: ⚧
Typed directly: ⚧
How It Works
1. Hex:U+26A7 → ⚧ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⚧.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9895 → ⚧. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \26A7 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⚧ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ⚧: best for normal UTF-8 text. All four lines show the same symbol.

Provide text context
Screen readers may not name the glyph clearly — add visible labels or aria-label where needed.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\26A7 belongs in CSS. ⚧ / ⚧ belong in HTML.
Encoding
Declare UTF-8
If you type ⚧ directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⚧, not ⚧.
