How It Works
1. Hex:U+20A7 → ₧ in HTML. Best portable choice (no named entity).
2. Decimal: same code point as 8359 → ₧. Same glyph.
3. Direct: paste ₧ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
4. CSS: use \20A7 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 &peseta;.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this currency entity.
No name
Do not invent a named entity
There is no &…; name for U+20A7. Use ₧ or ₧.
Not euro
Historical currency
Spain uses the euro today. Use € for current prices; keep ₧ for historical amounts.
Not peso
₧ vs ₱
Peso (U+20B1) is a different currency family. Do not swap the symbols.
Font
Glyph coverage varies
Some fonts render ₧ as “Pts” style. Provide a fallback or write “pesetas” in words if needed.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\20A7 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">.
