CSS escape    \2769

</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2769 → ❩ in HTML. The browser turns it into ❩.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10089 → ❩. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \2769 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ❩ after the paragraph text.

4. Pairing: ❨ (U+2768) opens the ornament; ❩ closes it for a decorative frame.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this parenthesis ornament.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+2769. Use numeric forms.

Not code

Not ASCII `)`

Use this dingbat for decoration only. Programming and math grouping still use ).

Pair

Match with U+2768

Open decorative frames with the left ornament ❨ so the pair looks intentional.

Not the flattened form

U+2769 (❩) and U+276B (❫) are different characters — pick one style and stay consistent.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2769 belongs in CSS. ❩ / ❩ belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ❩, not &#10089.
