What Is the Rising Diagonal Crossing Falling Diagonal Entity?

A ⤫ B
How It Works
1. Hex:U+292B → ⤫ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⤫.
2. Decimal: same code point as 10539 → ⤫. Same result as hex.
3. Named: HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character — use hex or decimal instead.
4. CSS: use \292B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⤫ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips

Fonts

Add nearby words
Pair the glyph with label text (for example A ⤫ B) or use aria-label / aria-hidden when it is purely decorative.
Semicolon
