Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+571C → &#x571C; in HTML. Clearest numeric form when there is no named entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 22300 → &#22300;. Same glyph as hex.

3. CSS: use \571C in content (not an HTML entity). #glyph::after appends that 圜 after the paragraph text.

4. Language: lang="zh" marks Chinese content so browsers and assistive tech treat the character correctly.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+571C.

vs 圆 / 圎

Not the other variants

圆 is U+5706 and 圎 is U+570E. 圜 (U+571C) is a separate code point — pick the exact character you need.

vs 元

Not everyday yuan 元

Common Chinese prices usually use 元 (U+5143). Use 圜 only when that specific character is required.

vs ¥

Not the Latin yen sign

&yen; (¥, U+00A5) is the currency symbol. It is not interchangeable with U+571C.

Named

No named entity

There is no named HTML entity for U+571C. Use hex or decimal. &yen; is only for U+00A5.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\571C belongs in CSS strings. &#x571C; / &#22300; belong in HTML.

A11y

Mark Chinese text

Use lang="zh" (or a more specific tag) on Chinese phrases. Pair rare glyphs with nearby context when they stand alone.
