html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="zh-Hant">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Yuan Character HK/TW (圓)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\5713";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x5713;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#22291;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: 圓</p>

</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+5713 → 圓 or 圓. The browser turns either into 圓.

2. Typed: in a UTF-8 document you can paste 圓 directly — same glyph, no entity.

3. CSS: use \5713 in content (four hex digits; not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that 圓 after the paragraph text.

4. Look-alikes: Mainland 元 is 元 (U+5143); currency sign is ¥ (¥) — different characters.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Yuan Character Hong Kong Taiwan.

Named

There is no named entity

HTML5 does not define a name for U+5713. Use 圓 or 圓.

vs China

Not Mainland 元

U+5143 (元) is a different ideograph. See Yuan Character China.

vs ¥

Not the ¥ currency sign

¥ is ¥ (U+00A5). See Yen Sign. Use U+5713 for Traditional Chinese 圓.

Fonts

Need CJK font coverage

Some Latin-only fonts omit CJK ideographs. Prefer fonts that cover Traditional Chinese (zh-Hant).

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\5713 belongs in CSS strings. 圓 / 圓 belong in HTML.

Encoding

Declare UTF-8

If you type 圓 directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.
