Black Two-way Left Way Traffic Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Black Two-way Left Way Traffic because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+26D6, which you can use as ⛖ in HTML, \26D6 in CSS, or type with Alt+9942 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Black Two-way Left Way Traffic is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+26D6 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Black Two-way Left Way Traffic has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ⛖ or the hex escape ⛖.
