How It Works
1. Hex:U+21F4 → ⇴ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⇴.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8692 → ⇴. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \21F4 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⇴ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ⇴: fine in UTF-8 source. All four lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with right arrow small circle (⇴).
Named?
No named entity

→
Not a plain right arrow
→ (→) has no circle. Use U+21F4 only when you need the small-circle form.
⤳
Not ⤳
⤳ is U+2933 (⤳), a wave arrow — not U+21F4.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\21F4 belongs in CSS. ⇴ / ⇴ belong in HTML.
Encoding
Declare UTF-8
If you type ⇴ directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⇴, not ⇴.
