Common Mistakes

⚠️

Mistake: Using emoji instead of text symbols for consistent cross-platform rendering

Fix: Text symbols (★, ✓, ♫) render consistently as text in all browsers. Emoji (⭐, ✅, 🎵) may look different across platforms and operating systems.

⚠️

Mistake: Using symbols in a way that violates accessibility guidelines

Fix: Decorative symbols should have aria-hidden=true or empty alt text. Informational symbols should have text alternatives. A stand-alone ⚠ (warning sign) without context text is not accessible.
