The Balloon Spoked symbol (❉) is one of the aesthetic symbols characters in the AllSymbols catalog. It is one of the decorative ornament glyphs scattered across the Dingbats and Miscellaneous Symbols blocks. These characters are designed to be read as ornaments rather than as representations of objects — they frame text, divide sections, and add visual texture.
Decorative glyphs work best when they frame, not overwhelm, the content. A common pattern is one ornament before and one after a short heading; stacking them produces a flourish; mixing types reads as a deliberate composition. Avoid using more than two or three different ornaments in a single piece — the visual noise overtakes the text.
In Unicode, Balloon Spoked sits at code point U+2749. Web pages reference it with the HTML numeric entity ❉; CSS rules reference it as a quoted hex escape (the four-digit code prefixed with a backslash); in JavaScript and most modern source-code contexts you can either paste the literal character or use a Unicode escape with the same hex digits.
Some decorative ornaments render at heading weight even when used inline, which can disturb body-text spacing. Test in the actual context where the glyph will appear — what reads well at 32px in a heading may overpower a 14px caption.
If Balloon Spoked isn’t quite what you need, the Aesthetic Symbols page lists every related character on the site — including Black Florette and Therefore. The related-symbols grid below also surfaces the closest sibling characters.
Type 2749 then press Alt+X in Word; in other apps, copy ❉ from this page and paste it. You can also copy ❉ straight from this page — it pastes into any app.
Press Ctrl+Cmd+Space to open the Character Viewer, then search for the symbol by name.
The balloon spoked symbol is Unicode code point U+2749. In HTML, use ❉ or the numeric reference ❉.
