Staff Of Hermes Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Staff Of Hermes because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+269A, which you can use as ⚚ in HTML, \269A in CSS, or type with Alt+9882 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Staff Of Hermes is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+269A is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Staff Of Hermes has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⚚ or the hex escape ⚚.
