🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x214A; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 214A to display the property line symbol.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#8522; uses the decimal Unicode value 8522 to display the same character.

HTML markup
3

CSS Entity

\214A is used in CSS stylesheets in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

CSS stylesheet
=

Same visual result

All three methods produce: . Unicode U+214A in the Letterlike Symbols block (U+2100–U+214F). No named HTML entity exists.

Use Cases

The property line symbol (⅊) commonly appears in:

⚖️ Legal Documents

Deeds, titles, and property boundary descriptions.

🗺️ Surveying

Land surveys, plat maps, and cadastral notation.

📐 Technical Drawings

Site plans, boundary diagrams, and engineering schematics.

🏢 Real Estate

♿ Accessibility

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#x214A; or &#8522; for the dedicated glyph
  • Add accessible text alongside the symbol for screen readers
  • Pick one style (hex or decimal) per project
  • Test rendering with fonts that include Letterlike Symbols
  • Use SVG or images for complex survey diagrams when needed

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for ⅊
  • Substitute a plain letter P or line drawing when ⅊ is required
  • Use CSS escape \214A inside HTML text nodes
  • Use HTML entities in JS (use \u214A instead)
  • Rely on the symbol alone without context in legal documents

Key Takeaways

1

Two HTML numeric references render ⅊

&#x214A; &#8522;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property

\214A
3

Unicode U+214A belongs to the Letterlike Symbols block (U+2100–U+214F)

4

No named HTML entity—use numeric codes or CSS escape only
