How It Works
1. Hex:U+2645 → ♅ in HTML. The browser turns it into ♅.
2. Decimal: same code point as 9797 → ♅. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \2645 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ♅ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / label: paste ♅ in UTF-8, and keep the word “Uranus” nearby so the symbol is understandable.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+2645.
Named
No &uranus; name
HTML5 has no named entity for U+2645. Use ♅ or ♅ — do not invent a name.
vs ♄
Not Saturn
♄ is Saturn (U+2644). ♅ is Uranus — neighboring code points, different planets.
vs ♆
Not Neptune
♆ is Neptune (U+2646). Keep planetary lists in the correct Unicode order.
vs ⛢
Alternate Uranus glyph
⛢ (U+26E2) is ASTRONOMICAL SYMBOL FOR URANUS (Herschel “H” style). Prefer U+2645 unless you specifically need the alternate form.
Fonts
Glyph depends on font
Some fonts draw planetary symbols weakly or as a fallback box. Test with fonts that cover Miscellaneous Symbols.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\2645 belongs in CSS strings. ♅ / ♅ belong in HTML.
A11y
Always label the planet
Screen readers may announce a generic “symbol.” Write “Uranus ♅” (or similar) so the meaning is clear.
