What You'll Learn

How to display the Does Not Contain As Normal Subgroup symbol (⋫) in HTML using named, hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS entity methods. This character is U+22EB in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF) and expresses that one group does not contain another as a normal subgroup in group theory.

Render it with the named entity ⋫, ⋫, ⋫, or CSS escape \22EB in the content property. For the “or equal” variant (⋭), see Does Not Contain As Normal Subgroup Or Equal.

Complete HTML Example

This example demonstrates the symbol (⋫) using hexadecimal code, decimal HTML code, the named entity, and a CSS content escape on a pseudo-element:

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <style>
  #point:after{
   content: "\22EB";
  }
 </style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Using Hexadecimal: &#x22EB;</p>
<p>Using HTML Code: &#8939;</p>
<p>Using Named Entity: &nrtri;</p>
<p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
</body>
</html>

🧠 How It Works

1

Named Entity

&nrtri; is the HTML named entity for this group-theory relation symbol — readable and maintainable in source code.

HTML markup
2

Hexadecimal Code

&#x22EB; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 22EB. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
3

Decimal HTML Code

&#8939; uses the decimal Unicode value 8939 to display the same character.

HTML markup
4

CSS Entity

\22EB is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

CSS stylesheet
=

Same visual result

All four methods produce: . Unicode U+22EB is the strict “does not contain as normal subgroup” relation. For ⋭, see Does Not Contain As Normal Subgroup Or Equal.

Use Cases

The symbol (⋫) commonly appears in the following scenarios:

∑ Group theory

Notation when H is not a normal subgroup of G (e.g. H ⋫ G).

📐 Math docs

Research papers and textbooks on abstract algebra and normal subgroups.

📚 Education

University algebra courses and online proofs referencing containment.

🔢 Symbol refs

Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF) and HTML entity lists.

📝 Formula pages

Web math notation needing the correct Unicode relation character.

📑 Entity guides

HTML entity references for education and research projects.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &nrtri; for readable HTML source
  • Use ⋫ for the strict relation; ⋭ for the or-equal variant
  • Use fonts that cover Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF)
  • Pair with text, MathML, or ARIA for accessibility
  • Pick one entity style per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Confuse ⋫ (strict) with ⋭ (or equal)
  • Use CSS escape \22EB inside HTML markup
  • Assume every browser font renders advanced math glyphs identically
  • Mix hex, decimal, and named styles randomly in one file
  • Rely on the symbol alone without accessible description

Key Takeaways

1

Three HTML references all render ⋫

&#x22EB; &#8939; &nrtri;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property

\22EB
3

Unicode U+22EB is the strict normal-subgroup non-containment relation

4

Prefer &nrtri; for readability in HTML source

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Use &nrtri; (named), &#x22EB; (hex), &#8939; (decimal), or \22EB in CSS content. All produce ⋫.
U+22EB (hex 22EB, decimal 8939) in the Mathematical Operators block. It means “does not contain as normal subgroup” (strict).
In group theory, abstract algebra, and any content that needs to state that a group does not contain another as a normal subgroup using proper Unicode notation.
⋫ (U+22EB, &nrtri;) is the strict relation. ⋭ (U+22ED) is “does not contain as normal subgroup or equal.” Use the entity that matches your notation.
Yes. &nrtri; is the named entity for U+22EB (⋫).
