White Sun With Rays Alt Code and Symbol

The Alt code for White Sun With Rays is 15. Hold Alt, type 15 on the numeric keypad, then release Alt. White Sun With Rays also has the Unicode codepoint U+263C, so you can type it with Alt+9788 on Windows, search for U+263C in macOS's Character Viewer, use ☼ in HTML, or \263C in CSS. If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly — the Alt key method requires a physical numpad. The code comes from the OEM console picture table, so the ☼ picture appears only when an OEM raster font is active; in a modern application using a TrueType font the same keystroke may insert nothing visible or a control character. White Sun With Rays has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ☼ or the hex escape ☼.
