<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Tight Trifoliate Snowflake (❅) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2745";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x2745;</p>

</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2745 → ❅ in HTML. The browser turns it into ❅.

2. Decimal: same code point as 10053 → ❅. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \2745 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ❅ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / example: paste ❅ in UTF-8, or write Winter sale ❅ for a short seasonal label.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Tight Trifoliate Snowflake.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+2745. Use ❅ or ❅.

❄

Not the classic snowflake

U+2744 (❄) is the more common snowflake. Use U+2745 when you specifically need the tight trifoliate design.

❆

Not heavy chevron

U+2746 (❆) is heavy chevron snowflake — a different Dingbat glyph.

Fonts

Dingbat font coverage

Some UI fonts omit less-common Dingbats. Prefer a font that covers this block for display.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2745 belongs in CSS strings. ❅ / ❅ belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End numeric references

Always finish with ; — write ❅, not &#10053.
