Despite the page name, Ɯ is officially LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED M at Unicode U+019C in the Latin Extended-B block — the capital counterpart of lowercase turned m (ɯ, U+026F). You can paste Ɯ in a UTF-8 file, or use a numeric character reference when encoding must be explicit.
Remember
Character Ɯ
Unicode U+019C
Hex entity Ɯ
Decimal Ɯ
CSS escape \019C
Named entity (none)
All of these produce the same glyph: Ɯ. Prefer typing or pasting Ɯ in UTF-8 pages; use entities for CSS content, generated markup, or when encoding must be explicit.
M Reverse Large using Hex Code: Ɯ
M Reverse Large using HTML Code: Ɯ
M Reverse Large using CSS Entity: Ɯ
Typed / pasted: Ɯ
Pair: Ɯ / ɯ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+019C → Ɯ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ɯ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 412 → Ɯ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \019C in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ɯ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed Ɯ: fine in UTF-8 documents. All four encoding lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the m reverse large entity.
Name
It is a capital letter
Unicode names it LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED M. The site slug says “lowercase” for sequence consistency — the glyph is capital-sized Ɯ.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for Ɯ. Use numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\019C belongs in CSS. Ɯ / Ɯ belong in HTML.
Look-alikes
Not M or ɯ
Plain M is U+004D. Lowercase turned m ɯ is U+026F. Do not swap them.
Fonts
Glyph coverage
Some fonts omit Latin Extended-B. If Ɯ looks like a box, switch to a font that includes it.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste Ɯ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Capital turned M (U+019C) and its numeric entity forms (Ɯ, Ɯ, CSS \\019C) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.

Bottom line: Use a pasted Ɯ in UTF-8 text when you can. Prefer Ɯ or Ɯ in HTML when encoding must be explicit, and \\019C only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: capital turned M is U+019C (decimal 412), Latin Extended-B.
HTML: use Ɯ or Ɯ when you need an entity.
CSS: use \019C inside content for generated text.
Pair: capital Ɯ (U+019C) vs lowercase IPA ɯ (U+026F).
One line:U+019C → paste Ɯ, or encode as Ɯ / Ɯ / CSS \019C.
Frequently Asked Questions
Use Ɯ (hex), Ɯ (decimal), or the CSS escape \019C in the content property. All render Ɯ. There is no named HTML entity for this character.
U+019C (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TURNED M). Hex 019C, decimal 412. It belongs to Latin Extended-B and is the capital form of the turned m (ɯ, U+026F).
No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character. Use numeric references Ɯ or Ɯ when you need an entity form.
Use it for phonetic notation, orthographies that include capital turned M, linguistics pages, CSS-generated content, or anywhere you must encode Ɯ explicitly. Prefer typing or pasting Ɯ directly when your file is UTF-8.
HTML entities (Ɯ or Ɯ) go in markup. The CSS escape \019C is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render Ɯ.
Ɯ (U+019C) is the capital turned M in Latin Extended-B. ɯ (U+026F) is the lowercase turned m in IPA Extensions — the IPA symbol for the close back unrounded vowel. Use Ɯ for the capital form; use ɯ for the lowercase IPA letter.
