How It Works
1. Named:⋲ is the preferred HTML5 name for U+22F2 → ⋲.
2. Hex:⋲ inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8946 → ⋲.
4. CSS: use \22F2 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 Long Horizontal Stroke.
Name
Prefer ⋲
⋲ is the readable named form for U+22F2. Numeric forms still work when you need them.
∈
Not plain ∈
U+2208 is the ordinary element-of symbol. U+22F2 adds a long horizontal stroke.
⋵
Not ⋵
U+22F5 has a dot above. This character has a long horizontal stroke.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22F2 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 &disin.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Element of with long horizontal stroke (U+22F2) and its entity forms (⋲, ⋲, ⋲, CSS \\22F2) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Mathematical Operators font coverage.
✓ Universal support
Element Of With Long Horizontal Stroke (⋲)
Encode with named, hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: element of with long horizontal stroke is U+22F2 (decimal 8946) — glyph ⋲.
Use ⋲ (named), ⋲ (hex), ⋲ (decimal), type ⋲ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \22F2 in content.
U+22F2 (ELEMENT OF WITH LONG HORIZONTAL STROKE). Hex 22F2, decimal 8946. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. ⋲ is the HTML5 named entity for U+22F2 and is usually the most readable choice in set-theory markup.
Use it when you need the long-stroke membership operator in formal math or logic. Prefer ∈ (U+2208) for ordinary “element of,” and ⋵ when you need the dotted form.
HTML entities (⋲, ⋲, or ⋲) go in markup. The CSS escape \22F2 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. U+22F2 is ⋲ (element of with long horizontal stroke). U+2208 is ∈ (plain element of). U+22F5 is ⋵ (element of with dot above).
🤔
