Permanent Paper Sign Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Permanent Paper Sign because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+267E, which you can use as ♾ in HTML, \267E in CSS, or type with Alt+9854 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Permanent Paper Sign is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+267E is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Permanent Paper Sign has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ♾ or the hex escape ♾.
