How It Works
1. Hex:U+2953 → ⥓ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⥓.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10579 → ⥓. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2953 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⥓ after the paragraph text.
4. No named entity: HTML5 does not define &…; for this character — stick to numeric forms.
