Remember

Unicode U+276B
Hex entity ❫
Decimal ❫

Pair U+276A (❪)
Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ❫. Pair it with ❪ for a matching left ornament.
Using Hex Code: ❫
Using HTML Code: ❫
Using CSS Entity: ❫
Paired: ❪ Featured text ❫
How It Works
1. Hex:U+276B → ❫ in HTML. The browser turns it into ❫.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10091 → ❫. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \276B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ❫ after the paragraph text.
4. Pairing: ❪ (U+276A) opens the ornament; ❫ closes it for a decorative frame.
