What Is Contains Vertical Bar At End Horizontal Stroke?
Contains with vertical bar at end of horizontal stroke (⋻) is the Unicode character at U+22FB in the Mathematical Operators block. It is a contains-style set symbol with a vertical bar at the end of the horizontal stroke — related to, but not the same as, plain contains as member (∋).
Remember

Hex entity ⋻
Decimal ⋻
Named entity ⋻
CSS escape \22FB
Not the same ∋ U+220B · ⋺ U+22FA · ⋽ U+22FD
All of these produce the same glyph: ⋻. Prefer ⋻ or a typed ⋻ in hand-written HTML; use numeric forms when generating markup.

How It Works
1. Named:⋻ is the HTML5 named reference for U+22FB → ⋻.
2. Hex:U+22FB → ⋻ in HTML. Same glyph as the named form.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8955 → ⋻. Same result as hex.
4. CSS: use \22FB in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⋻ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed: in a UTF-8 page you can paste ⋻ directly. All five lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this contains variant.
Named
⋻ ≠ ∋
⋻ is U+22FB. ∋ is U+220B. Also do not confuse with ⋼ (U+22FC) or ⋺ (U+22FA).
Variant
Not plain contains
Use ∋ for everyday contains-as-member. Use ⋻ only when this vertical-bar form is required.
Siblings
Pick the matching variant
Long stroke = ⋺ (U+22FA). Overbar = ⋽ (U+22FD). Vertical bar at end = ⋻ (U+22FB).
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22FB belongs in CSS. ⋻ / ⋻ / ⋻ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Math font coverage
Some fonts omit U+22FB. Prefer a font with Mathematical Operators coverage for display.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ⋻ and ⋻, not bare forms.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Contains with vertical bar at end of horizontal stroke (U+22FB) and its entity forms (⋻, ⋻, ⋻, CSS \\22FB) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on font coverage.
✓ Universal support

Bottom line: Prefer ⋻ or typed ⋻ in HTML. Use \\22FB only inside CSS content. Prefer ∋ / ∋ for plain contains-as-member.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: this contains variant is U+22FB (decimal 8955) — glyph ⋻.
HTML: use ⋻, ⋻, ⋻, or type ⋻.
CSS: use \22FB inside content for generated text.
Watch out:⋻ ≠ ∋ ≠ ⋺ ≠ ⋽.
One line:U+22FB → ⋻ / ⋻ / CSS \22FB / type ⋻.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ⋻ (hex), ⋻ (decimal), ⋻ (named), or the CSS escape \22FB in the content property. All render the U+22FB glyph. You can also paste the character directly when your file is UTF-8.
U+22FB (hex 22FB, decimal 8955). It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block and is a contains-style set symbol with a vertical bar at the end of the horizontal stroke.
Yes. ⋻ is the HTML5 named reference for U+22FB. Numeric forms ⋻ and ⋻ also work. Do not confuse ⋻ with ∋ (U+220B), ⋺ (U+22FA), or ⋽ (U+22FD).
Use it in set-theory or math pages that specifically need this contains variant. For plain “contains”, prefer U+220B (∋).
HTML entities (⋻, ⋻, or ⋻) go in markup. The CSS escape \22FB goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
U+22FB (⋻) has a vertical bar at the end of the horizontal stroke. U+220B (∋) is plain contains as member. U+22FA (⋺) has a long horizontal stroke. U+22FD (⋽) has an overbar.
