<!DOCTYPE html>

  <meta charset="UTF-8">

  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\203A";
    }

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &rsaquo; is the HTML5 name for U+203A → ›. Best default in markup.

2. Hex: U+203A → › in HTML. Same glyph as the named form.

3. Decimal: same code point as 8250 → ›. Same result as hex and named.

4. CSS: use \203A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that › after the paragraph text.

5. Paired: write &lsaquo;inner&rsaquo; for a balanced single-guillemet quote.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with &rsaquo;.

vs »

Not a double guillemet

&rsaquo; is › (single). » is » (double). Different characters.

Not ASCII greater-than

> is for comparisons and HTML tags. Use &rsaquo; for typographic quotes.

Pair

Balance with &lsaquo;

For a closed quote, open with &lsaquo; (‹) and close with &rsaquo; (›).

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\203A belongs in CSS strings. &rsaquo; / › / › belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End named entities

Always finish with ; — write &rsaquo;, not &rsaquo.

Locale

Quotation style varies

Some locales prefer « / » for outer quotes and single marks for nesting — follow your style guide.
