<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Trigram Fire (☲)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\2632";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x2632;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#9778;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ☲</p>
  <p>Label: Fire &#x2632;</p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2632 → &#x2632; in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 9778 → &#9778;. Same glyph as hex.

3. CSS: use \2632 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ☲ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / label: paste ☲ in UTF-8, or write Fire &#x2632; for a short caption.

5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+2632 — use numeric references or type the character.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+2632.

vs ☵

Not water

☵ (U+2635) is the water trigram (kǎn). Fire and water look related but have different line patterns and code points.

vs ☷

Not earth

☷ (U+2637) is three broken lines (earth). Do not treat every bagua glyph as interchangeable.

Named

No named HTML entity

There is no &trigramfire; for U+2632. Use &#x2632; or &#9778;.

Fonts

Needs symbol coverage

Some UI fonts omit bagua trigrams. Prefer a stack that includes a symbols or CJK-friendly font if the glyph must always show.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\2632 belongs in CSS strings. &#x2632; / &#9778; belong in HTML.

A11y

Name the trigram in context

Screen readers may announce this unevenly. Prefer nearby plain-language text such as “trigram for fire” when meaning matters.
