Element of with dot above (⋵) is the Unicode character at U+22F5 in Mathematical Operators. Official name: ELEMENT OF WITH DOT ABOVE. It is a membership operator with a dot above — useful in formal set theory and scientific notation.
Remember
Character ⋵
Unicode U+22F5
Named entity ⋵
Hex entity ⋵
Decimal ⋵
CSS escape \22F5
Not the same ∈ (isin) · ⋸ (underbar) · ∉ (notin)
Prefer ⋵ in HTML markup. You can also use ⋵ / ⋵, or type ⋵ in a UTF-8 document.

How It Works
1. Named:⋵ is the preferred HTML5 name for U+22F5 → ⋵.
2. Hex:⋵ inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8949 → ⋵.
4. CSS: use \22F5 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ⋵.
5. Typed: paste ⋵ in a UTF-8 document, or write membership like x ⋵ S.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Element Of With Dot Above.
Name
Prefer ⋵
⋵ is the readable named form for U+22F5. Numeric forms still work when you need them.
∈
Not plain ∈
U+2208 is the ordinary element-of symbol. U+22F5 adds a dot above.
⋸
Not element of underbar
U+22F8 has an underbar. This character has a dot above.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22F5 belongs in CSS strings. ⋵ / ⋵ / ⋵ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Math font coverage
Some fonts omit less-common Mathematical Operators. Prefer a font with solid math coverage.
a11y
Add accessible text
Screen readers may not expand ⋵ clearly. Prefer full phrases nearby (for example “x is an element of S”) when the meaning matters.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ⋵, not &isindot.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Element of with dot above (U+22F5) and its entity forms (⋵, ⋵, ⋵, CSS \\22F5) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Mathematical Operators font coverage.
✓ Universal support
Element Of With Dot Above (⋵)
Encode with named, hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

Bottom line: Prefer ⋵ in HTML. Use ⋵ / ⋵ when numeric form is required, and \\22F5 only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: element of with dot above is U+22F5 (decimal 8949) — glyph ⋵.
HTML: prefer ⋵ (named form).
CSS: use \22F5 inside content for generated text.
Shape: dotted membership ≠ plain ∈ ≠ underbar ⋸.
One line:U+22F5 → ⋵ / ⋵ / CSS \22F5.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ⋵ (named), ⋵ (hex), ⋵ (decimal), type ⋵ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \22F5 in content.
U+22F5 (ELEMENT OF WITH DOT ABOVE). Hex 22F5, decimal 8949. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. ⋵ is the HTML5 named entity for U+22F5 and is usually the most readable choice in set-theory markup.
Use it when you need the dotted membership operator in formal math or scientific notation. Prefer ∈ (U+2208) for ordinary “element of,” and ⋸ when you need the underbar form.
HTML entities (⋵, ⋵, or ⋵) go in markup. The CSS escape \22F5 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. U+22F5 is ⋵ (element of with dot above). U+2208 is ∈ (plain element of). U+22F8 is ⋸ (element of underbar).
