When to use it

Added to Unicode in 2017; older fonts may not include it, so test on the devices you care about.

In HTML, CSS and JavaScript

<p>&#8383;</p>           <!-- or the character itself in a UTF-8 page -->

.note::before { content: "\20BF"; }

const s = "\u20BF";

In a page saved as UTF-8 (the default today) you can paste the character directly; the entity is only needed when it must survive a non-UTF-8 system. Encode or decode whole texts with the HTML Entity Encoder.
