What Is Element Of With Vertical Bar At End Horizontal Stroke Small?
Element of with vertical bar at end horizontal stroke small (⋴) is the Unicode character at U+22F4 in Mathematical Operators. Official name: SMALL ELEMENT OF WITH VERTICAL BAR AT END OF HORIZONTAL STROKE. It is the small form of the vertical-bar membership operator — useful in compact set theory and logic notation.

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+22F4 → ⋴.
2. Hex:⋴ inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8948 → ⋴.
4. CSS: use \22F4 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 this small membership operator.
Name
Watch ⋴ vs ∈
⋴ is U+22F4 (this small vertical-bar form). ∈ is U+2208 (plain element of). The trailing s matters.
⋳
Not the full-size form
U+22F3 (⋳) is the larger version. U+22F4 is the small variant.
∊
Not small element of
U+220A is a different small membership glyph. This character keeps the vertical-bar stroke design.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22F4 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 &isins.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Small element of with vertical bar at end of horizontal stroke (U+22F4) and its entity forms (⋴, ⋴, ⋴, CSS \\22F4) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Mathematical Operators font coverage.
✓ Universal support

Bottom line: Prefer ⋴ in HTML. Use ⋴ / ⋴ when numeric form is required, and \\22F4 only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: this small operator is U+22F4 (decimal 8948) — glyph ⋴.
HTML: prefer ⋴ — not ∈.
CSS: use \22F4 inside content for generated text.
Size: small ⋴ ≠ full ⋳ ≠ plain ∈.
One line:U+22F4 → ⋴ / ⋴ / CSS \22F4.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ⋴ (named), ⋴ (hex), ⋴ (decimal), type ⋴ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \22F4 in content.
U+22F4 (SMALL ELEMENT OF WITH VERTICAL BAR AT END OF HORIZONTAL STROKE). Hex 22F4, decimal 8948. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. ⋴ is the HTML5 named entity for U+22F4. Do not confuse it with ∈ (plain element of, U+2208) or ⋳ (full-size vertical-bar form, U+22F3).
Use it when you need the small vertical-bar membership variant. Prefer ⋳ (U+22F3) for the full-size form, and ∈ (U+2208) for ordinary “element of.”
HTML entities (⋴, ⋴, or ⋴) go in markup. The CSS escape \22F4 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. U+22F4 is ⋴ (small vertical-bar form). U+22F3 is ⋳ (full-size vertical-bar form). U+2208 is ∈ (plain element of).
