How It Works
1. Hex:U+2647 → ♇ in HTML. Best portable choice (no named entity).
2. Decimal: same code point as 9799 → ♇. Same glyph.
3. Direct: paste ♇ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
4. CSS: use \2647 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 &pluto;.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the Pluto entity.
No name
No &pluto;
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+2647. Use ♇ or ♇.
Word vs glyph
Not the word “Pluto”
Ordinary text Pluto is fine in sentences. ♇ is the dedicated planetary symbol for charts and labels.
Look-alikes
Not other planets
Neptune is U+2646 (♆), Mars is U+2642 (♂). Each planet has its own code point.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2647 belongs in CSS. ♇ / ♇ belong in HTML.
Encoding
Declare UTF-8
If you paste ♇ directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.
