The symbol was only recently added to Unicode as U+20C3 and operating systems/fonts are still catching up.
We expect native OS and font support to arrive in September 2026 alongside Unicode 18.0. At that point, web fonts will become optional, but it will likely take some time for these updates to spread to all user systems. so, we recommend to use the CCS font for inconsistent for all devices.
