How It Works
1. Hex:U+269E → ⚞ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⚞.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9886 → ⚞. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \269E in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⚞ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / example: paste ⚞ in UTF-8, or write Flow ⚞ merge right for a short diagram label.

Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+269E. Use ⚞ or ⚞.
⚟
Right vs left pair
U+269F (⚟) is three lines converging left. Pick the code that matches the direction you need.
→

End numeric references
Always finish with ; — write ⚞, not ⚞.
