What Is the Not Normal Subgroup Of Entity?

Not normal subgroup of (⋪) is the Mathematical Operators character at Unicode U+22EA (NOT NORMAL SUBGROUP OF). It states that a subgroup is not normal — for example H ⋪ G.

Remember
Character     ⋪
Unicode       U+22EA
Named entity  ⋪  (also ⋪, ⋪)
Hex entity    ⋪
Decimal       ⋪
CSS escape    \22EA
Affirmative   ⊲ (⊲, U+22B2)

Named, hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ⋪. Prefer ⋪ in HTML source for clarity.

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Not Normal Subgroup Of (&nltri;)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\22EA";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Named Entity: &nltri;</p>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x22EA;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#8938;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Example: H &nltri; G</p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &nltri; (or &ntriangleleft;) is the clearest HTML form and renders ⋪.

2. Hex: U+22EA → &#x22EA; in HTML. Same result as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 8938 → &#8938;. Same result as hex.

4. CSS: use \22EA in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⋪ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with the not-normal-subgroup-of entity.

Pair

&nltri; ≠ &vltri;

&nltri; is the negation. &vltri; is the affirmative normal subgroup of (◃).

Look-alikes

Not &nsub; or &nltrie;

&nsub; is ⊄ (not a subset). &nltrie; is ⋬ (not normal subgroup of or equal to). Pick the exact relation.

Aliases

&nltri; = &ntriangleleft;

Both (and &NotLeftTriangle;) map to U+22EA. Pick one and stay consistent.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\22EA belongs in CSS. &nltri; / &#x22EA; / &#8938; belong in HTML.

Encoding

Declare UTF-8

If you paste ⋪ directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &nltri;, not &nltri.

Browser Support

Not normal subgroup of (U+22EA) and its entity forms (&nltri;, &#x22EA;, &#8938;, CSS \\22EA) are supported in all modern browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.

✓ Universal encoding

Not Normal Subgroup Of (&nltri;)

Encode with named, hex, decimal, or CSS escape — or paste ⋪ directly in UTF-8 HTML.

Bottom line: Prefer &nltri; (or &ntriangleleft;) for readable HTML. Use \\22EA only inside CSS content.

Key Takeaways

  • Unicode: this character is U+22EA (decimal 8938).
  • HTML: prefer &nltri; (alias &ntriangleleft;) — or use &#x22EA; / &#8938;.
  • CSS: use \22EA inside content for generated text.
  • Watch out: &nltri; ≠ &vltri; ≠ &nsub;.

One line: U+22EA → &nltri; / &#x22EA; / &#8938; / CSS \22EA.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use &nltri; or &ntriangleleft; (named), &#x22EA; (hex), &#8938; (decimal), type ⋪ in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \22EA in content. All render ⋪. Prefer &nltri; in HTML source.
U+22EA (NOT NORMAL SUBGROUP OF). Hex 22EA, decimal 8938. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. HTML5 defines &nltri;, &ntriangleleft;, and &NotLeftTriangle; (aliases for the same character). Related: &vltri; for ◃ (U+22B2).
Use it in group theory when H is not a normal subgroup of G (e.g. H ⊀ G). Prefer &nltri; for readable source. For the affirmative relation use &vltri; (◃).
HTML entities (&nltri;, &#8938;, or &#x22EA;) go in markup. The CSS escape \22EA is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ⋪.
◃ (U+22B2, &vltri;) means is a normal subgroup of. ⊈ (U+2288, &nsube;) means neither a subset of nor equal to. ⋪ (&nltri;) specifically means not a normal subgroup of — do not substitute one for another.

Did you know?

Not normal subgroup of (⋪) is Unicode U+22EA (decimal 8938) — NOT NORMAL SUBGROUP OF in Mathematical Operators. HTML5 provides &nltri;, &ntriangleleft;, and &NotLeftTriangle; (same glyph). It negates normal subgroup of (&vltri;, ⊲, U+22B2). Related: &nltrie; (⋬, not normal subgroup of or equal to).
