How It Works
1. Hex:U+26AF → ⚯ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⚯.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9903 → ⚯. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \26AF in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⚯ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ⚯: fine in UTF-8 pages. The status line shows the symbol between names with clear context.
