What Is the Property Line Entity?

Property line (⅊) is the Letterlike Symbols character at Unicode U+214A (PROPERTY LINE). It marks property boundaries in surveying and legal notation. There is no named HTML entity; use hex, decimal, UTF-8, or CSS.

Remember
Character     ⅊
Unicode       U+214A
Named entity  none
Hex entity    ⅊
Decimal       ⅊
CSS escape    \214A
Not for       page dividers (use CSS / <hr>)

All numeric and UTF-8 forms produce the same glyph: ⅊. Prefer &#x214A; for portable markup; paste ⅊ in UTF-8 when convenient.

Quick Reference

Hex + Decimal + Direct + CSS

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

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Property Line (⅊) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\214A";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x214A;</p>
  <p>Using Decimal: &#8522;</p>
  <p>Using Direct Character: ⅊</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Example: Boundary: Lot A &#x214A; Lot B</p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+214A → &#x214A; in HTML. Best portable choice (no named entity).

2. Decimal: same code point as 8522 → &#8522;. Same glyph.

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

4. CSS: use \214A 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 &propertyline;.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with the property-line entity.

No name

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+214A. Use &#x214A; or &#8522;.

Layout

Not a page divider

For visual separators, use CSS borders or <hr>. This glyph is for surveying/legal meaning.

Look-alikes

Not an em dash

Em dash (&mdash; —) is punctuation. Property line is a different Letterlike symbol.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\214A belongs in CSS. &#x214A; / &#8522; belong in HTML.

Encoding

Declare UTF-8

If you paste ⅊ directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.

Fonts

Glyph coverage

Some fonts lack ⅊. If it falls back to a box, try a font with Letterlike Symbols coverage.

Browser Support

Property line (U+214A) and its entity forms (&#x214A;, &#8522;, CSS \\214A) are supported in all modern browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.

✓ Universal encoding

Property Line (&#x214A;)

Encode with hex, decimal, or CSS escape — or paste ⅊ directly in UTF-8 HTML. No named entity.

Bottom line: Prefer &#x214A; (or &#8522;) for readable portable HTML. Use \\214A only inside CSS content.

Key Takeaways

  • Unicode: this character is U+214A (decimal 8522).
  • HTML: use &#x214A; or &#8522; — there is no named entity.
  • CSS: use \214A inside content for generated text.
  • Watch out: ⅊ ≠ page divider ≠ em dash.

One line: U+214A → &#x214A; / &#8522; / CSS \214A (no named entity).
