Reverse triple prime (‷) is the Unicode character at U+2037 in the General Punctuation block. Official name: REVERSED TRIPLE PRIME. It is the mirrored form of triple prime (‴) — used in specialized typography and notation.
Remember
Character ‷
Unicode U+2037
Hex entity ‷
Decimal ‷
CSS escape \2037
Named entity (none)
Not the same ‴ · ‶ · '''
Prefer ‷ or ‷ in HTML markup. You can also type ‷ in UTF-8. There is no named entity like ‴.
Reverse Triple Prime using Hex Code: ‷
Reverse Triple Prime using HTML Code: ‷
Reverse Triple Prime using CSS Entity: ‷
Typed directly: ‷
Compare: reverse ‷ vs triple ‴
How It Works
1. Hex:U+2037 → ‷ in HTML. The browser turns it into ‷.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8247 → ‷. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2037 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ‷ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / compare: paste ‷ in UTF-8, and use ‴ when you need the standard (non-reversed) triple prime.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Reverse Triple Prime.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+2037. Use ‷ or ‷.
‴
Not the same as ‴
‴ is triple prime (‴, U+2034). Reverse triple prime is a different code point (U+2037).
Stack
Do not stack three ‵
Three ‵ marks are not the same as one U+2037 character. Use the real reverse triple prime.
'''
Not three apostrophes
Typing ''' is three ASCII apostrophes — not a reverse triple prime. Use U+2037.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2037 belongs in CSS strings. ‷ / ‷ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End numeric references
Always finish with ; — write ‷, not ‷.

Key Takeaways
Unicode: reverse triple prime is U+2037 (decimal 8247) — glyph ‷.
HTML: use ‷ or ‷ — no named entity; typing ‷ also works.
CSS: use \2037 inside content for generated text.
Meaning:‷ = reversed triple prime — not ‴, not three ‵, not '''.
One line:U+2037 → ‷ / ‷ / CSS \2037.
