Element of with overbar (⋶) is the Unicode character at U+22F6 in Mathematical Operators. Official name: ELEMENT OF WITH OVERBAR. It is a membership operator with an overbar — useful in formal set theory and logic.
Remember
Character ⋶
Unicode U+22F6
Named entity ⋶
Hex entity ⋶
Decimal ⋶
CSS escape \22F6
Not the same ∈ (isin) · ⋸ (underbar) · ∉ (notin)
Prefer ⋶ in HTML markup. You can also use ⋶ / ⋶, or type ⋶ in a UTF-8 document.

Built with CSS: ⋶
Typed: ⋶
Membership: x ⋶ S
How It Works
1. Named:⋶ is the preferred HTML5 name for U+22F6 → ⋶.
2. Hex:⋶ inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8950 → ⋶.
4. CSS: use \22F6 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 Overbar.
Name
Prefer ⋶
⋶ is the HTML5 name for U+22F6. The name looks like a negation alias, but it maps to the overbar membership glyph.
∈
Not plain ∈
U+2208 is the ordinary element-of symbol. U+22F6 adds an overbar.
⋸
Not underbar
U+22F8 has an underbar below. This character has an overbar above.
∉
Not ∉
U+2209 is the standard “not an element of” operator. Do not treat ⋶ as a drop-in for ∉.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22F6 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 ¬invc.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Element of with overbar (U+22F6) and its entity forms (⋶, ⋶, ⋶, CSS \\22F6) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Mathematical Operators font coverage.
✓ Universal support
Element Of With Overbar (⋶)
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 \\22F6 only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: element of with overbar is U+22F6 (decimal 8950) — glyph ⋶.
HTML: prefer ⋶ (named form).
CSS: use \22F6 inside content for generated text.
Shape: overbar ≠ plain ∈ ≠ underbar ⋸ ≠ notin ∉.
One line:U+22F6 → ⋶ / ⋶ / CSS \22F6.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ⋶ (named), ⋶ (hex), ⋶ (decimal), type ⋶ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \22F6 in content.
U+22F6 (ELEMENT OF WITH OVERBAR). Hex 22F6, decimal 8950. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. ⋶ is the HTML5 named entity for U+22F6. The entity name looks like a negation form, but it maps to ELEMENT OF WITH OVERBAR.
Use it when you need the overbarred membership operator in formal math or logic. Prefer ∈ (U+2208) for ordinary “element of,” and ⋸ when you need the underbar form.
HTML entities (⋶, ⋶, or ⋶) go in markup. The CSS escape \22F6 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. U+22F6 is ⋶ (element of with overbar). U+2208 is ∈ (plain element of). U+22F8 is ⋸ (element of underbar).
🤔
Did you know?
Element of with overbar is Unicode U+22F6 (decimal 8950) — glyph ⋶ (ELEMENT OF WITH OVERBAR) in Mathematical Operators. HTML5 names it ⋶. The plain membership symbol is ∈ (∈, U+2208). Do not confuse with element of underbar (U+22F8).
