Lowercase f reverse (ɟ) is the IPA Extensions character at Unicode U+025F (LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS J WITH STROKE). It represents the voiced palatal stop in phonetic transcription. You can paste ɟ in a UTF-8 file, or use a numeric character reference when encoding must be explicit.
Remember
Character ɟ
Unicode U+025F
Hex entity ɟ
Decimal ɟ
CSS escape \025F
Named entity (none)
All of these produce the same glyph: ɟ. Prefer typing or pasting ɟ in UTF-8 pages; use entities for CSS content, generated markup, or when encoding must be explicit.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+025F → ɟ in HTML. The browser turns it into ɟ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 607 → ɟ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \025F in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ɟ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ɟ: fine in UTF-8 documents. All four lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the f reverse entity.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define &jnodot; or similar for ɟ. Use numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\025F belongs in CSS. ɟ / ɟ belong in HTML.
Look-alikes
Not f or ƒ
Plain f is U+0066; florin ƒ is U+0192. ɟ is an IPA letter.
Fonts
Use IPA-capable fonts
Some UI fonts omit IPA glyphs. Prefer fonts that cover IPA Extensions.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ɟ, not ɟ.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ɟ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Lowercase f reverse (U+025F) and its numeric entity forms (ɟ, ɟ, CSS \\025F) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.

Bottom line: Use a pasted ɟ in UTF-8 text when you can. Prefer ɟ or ɟ in HTML when encoding must be explicit, and \\025F only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: f reverse is U+025F (decimal 607), IPA Extensions.
HTML: use ɟ or ɟ when you need an entity.
CSS: use \025F inside content for generated text.
Meaning: IPA voiced palatal stop — not the same as f or ƒ.
One line:U+025F → paste ɟ, or encode as ɟ / ɟ / CSS \025F.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ɟ (hex), ɟ (decimal), or the CSS escape \025F in the content property. All render ɟ. There is no named HTML entity for this character.
U+025F (LATIN SMALL LETTER DOTLESS J WITH STROKE). Hex 25F, decimal 607. It belongs to the IPA Extensions block and is used for the voiced palatal stop in phonetic transcription.
No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character. Use numeric references ɟ or ɟ when you need an entity form.
Use it in linguistics pages, IPA charts, Hungarian or other phonetic examples, CSS-generated content, or anywhere you must encode ɟ explicitly. Prefer typing ɟ directly when your file is UTF-8.
HTML entities (ɟ or ɟ) go in markup. The CSS escape \025F is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ɟ.
Plain f is U+0066. Florin/function symbol ƒ is U+0192 (ƒ). F reverse ɟ is U+025F — an IPA letter, not a Latin alphabet letter or currency symbol.
🤔
