How It Works
1. Hex:U+01C0 → ǀ in HTML → ǀ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 448 → ǀ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \01C0 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ǀ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed: in a UTF-8 page you can paste ǀ directly. All four lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips

Named?
No named entity

Series
Other click letters
U+01C0–U+01C3 cover dental, lateral, alveolar, and retroflex clicks. Pick the code point that matches the sound.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01C0 belongs in CSS strings. ǀ / ǀ belong in HTML.
Fonts
IPA font coverage
Some fonts omit U+01C0. Prefer Charis SIL, Noto Sans, or Segoe UI for reliable glyphs.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ǀ, not ǀ.
