Horizontal Scan Line-9 Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Horizontal Scan Line-9 because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+23BD, which you can use as ⎽ in HTML, \23BD in CSS, or type with Alt+9149 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Horizontal Scan Line-9 is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+23BD is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Horizontal Scan Line-9 has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⎽ or the hex escape ⎽.
