What Is the Medium Right Pointing Angle Bracket Ornament Entity?
Medium right-pointing angle bracket ornament (❭) is the Dingbats character at Unicode U+276D. It is a decorative right angle bracket used for typography, callouts, and forward navigation cues — not HTML > tags and not the ASCII greater-than sign.
Remember
Character ❭
Unicode U+276D
Hex entity ❭
Decimal ❭
CSS escape \276D
Named entity (none)
Pair U+276C (❬)
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+276D → ❭ in HTML. The browser turns it into ❭.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10093 → ❭. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \276D in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ❭ after the paragraph text.
4. Pairing: ❬ (U+276C) opens the ornament; ❭ closes it for a decorative frame.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this angle bracket ornament.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+276D. Use numeric forms.
Not >
Not HTML angle brackets
Do not use this for tags or comparisons. Markup still needs > / >.
Pair
Match with U+276C
Open decorative frames with the left ornament ❬ so the pair looks intentional.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\276D 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 ❭.
