Every way to write it

7 forms
HTML entity

·

A named entity — readable, and safe in any HTML document without declaring a charset.

HTML numeric

·

The numeric form works everywhere a named one does, and exists for every character.

CSS content

\00B7

For a content property in a ::before or ::after rule. No semicolon, and mind the trailing space.

JavaScript

\u00B7

Valid in a JavaScript or JSON string literal, so it survives files and pipelines that are not UTF-8 clean.

Python

\u00B7

The escape for a Python string literal.

URL

%C2%B7

Percent-encoded UTF-8, for a query string or a path segment.

UTF-8 bytes

C2 B7

2 bytes on the wire. Seeing these as separate garbled characters means something decoded them as single-byte text.
