№

This character has no named entity, so the numeric form is the one to use.

CSS content

\2116

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

JavaScript

\u2116

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

Python

\u2116

The escape for a Python string literal.

URL

%E2%84%96

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

UTF-8 bytes

E2 84 96

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