Definition

What Is the Partially Recycled Paper Symbol Entity?

Partially recycled paper symbol (♽) is the Miscellaneous Symbols character at Unicode U+267D. It marks paper that contains some recycled content — useful for eco labels and packaging notes. There is no named HTML entity; use hex, decimal, UTF-8, or CSS.

Remember

Character     ♽
Unicode       U+267D
Named entity  none
Hex entity    &#x267D;
Decimal       &#9853;
CSS escape    \267D

All numeric and UTF-8 forms produce the same glyph: ♽. Prefer ♽ for portable markup; paste ♽ in UTF-8 when convenient.

Four ways to produce ♽ in a single document (no named entity).

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Partially Recycled Paper (♽) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\267D";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x267D;</p>
  <p>Using Decimal: &#9853;</p>
  <p>Using Direct Character: ♽</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Eco label: &#x267D; Partially recycled paper</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+267D → ♽ in HTML. Best portable choice (no named entity).

2. Decimal: same code point as 9853 → ♽. Same glyph.

3. Direct: paste ♽ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.

4. CSS: use \267D in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ♽ after the paragraph text.

5. Named: HTML5 has none — do not invent a name like &partrecycle;.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this eco symbol entity.

No name

Do not invent a named entity

There is no &…; name for U+267D. Use ♽ or ♽.

Not full

♽ vs ♼

U+267C is recycled paper (full). U+267D means partially recycled — pick the correct marking.

Accessibility

Add visible meaning

Pair the glyph with text (e.g. “Partially recycled paper”) so screen readers and users get the claim clearly.

Font

Glyph coverage varies

Some fonts omit Miscellaneous Symbols. Provide a fallback font or descriptive text if the box appears empty.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\267D belongs in CSS. ♽ / ♽ belong in HTML.

UTF-8

Declare charset

If you paste ♽ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
