<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Lowercase T Reverse (ʇ) in HTML</title>
<style>
#point::after {
content: "\0287";
}

T Reverse using Hex Code: ʇ
T Reverse using HTML Code: ʇ
T Reverse using CSS Entity: ʇ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+0287 → ʇ in HTML. There is no named entity for this code point.
2. Decimal: same code point as 647 → ʇ. Same glyph.
3. CSS: use \0287 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ʇ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the t reverse entity.
Named
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0287. Use ʇ or ʇ.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0287 belongs in CSS. ʇ / ʇ belong in HTML.
Look-alikes
Not t or ʈ
Plain t is U+0074; retroflex hook ʈ is U+0288. Turned t is a different letter.
Fonts
Need IPA coverage
Some fonts omit IPA Extensions. Prefer a font that includes U+0287 for a reliable glyph.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ʇ, not ʇ.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ʇ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
