Flower Symbol (✿)

Flower Symbol on this page is ✿, U+273F BLACK FLORETTE. It is a decorative dingbat used in plain-text dividers, bullets, names, and ornamented headings. The glyph is not an emoji flower and does not identify a botanical species. Examples include “✿ Welcome ✿,” “Section divider: ✿ ✿ ✿,” and “Bullet: ✿ Item.” Use the character where decorative text is appropriate, and keep important structure available through real headings or list markup rather than relying on the florette alone. Copy U+273F as one character. Fonts can make the petals rounded, pointed, filled, or lightly outlined. Those visual changes do not turn the mark into a different code point. Do not substitute 🌸, 🌼, or a custom floral image when the BLACK FLORETTE character is required. The mark is also unrelated to the Celsius expression °C, even if both appear as compact visual labels. For HTML, use literal UTF-8 ✿, decimal ✿, or hexadecimal ✿. An accessible label is useful only when the decoration conveys meaning; purely ornamental uses should not distract from the actual text. Recopy the sample “Unicode reference: U+273F ✿,” confirm the final text still contains U+273F, and check that the visible heading names Flower. This final check protects Flower Symbol from font substitution, accidental character loss, and intent drift.
