What You'll Learn

How to display the Not Normal Subgroup Of symbol (⋪) in HTML using named, hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. This group-theory operator states that one group is not a normal subgroup of another (e.g. HG means H is not a normal subgroup of G).

This character is U+22EA (DOES NOT CONTAIN AS NORMAL SUBGROUP) in the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF). Render it with the named entity ⋪, ⋪, ⋪, or CSS escape \22EA. Compare with Normal Subgroup Of (⊳, ⊳) and Normal Subgroup (⊲, ⊲).

Complete HTML Example

A simple example showing ⋪ using hexadecimal code, decimal HTML code, the named entity, and a CSS content escape:

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <style>
  #point::after{
   content: "\22EA";
  }
 </style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Symbol (hex): &#x22EA;</p>
<p>Symbol (decimal): &#8938;</p>
<p>Symbol (named): &nltri;</p>
<p id="point">Symbol (CSS): </p>
</body>
</html>

🧠 How It Works

1

Named Entity

&nltri; is the HTML named entity for U+22EA—the most readable choice when writing group-theory markup.

HTML markup
2

Hexadecimal Code

&#x22EA; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 22EA to display the not-normal-subgroup symbol.

HTML markup
3

Decimal HTML Code

&#8938; uses the decimal Unicode value 8938 to display the same character.

4

CSS Entity

\22EA is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

Same visual result

All four methods produce: . Unicode U+22EA in Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF).

Use Cases

The ⋪ symbol (&nltri;) is commonly used in:

🔢 Group theory

Expressing that a subgroup is not normal in a given group.

📚 Abstract algebra

Textbooks, papers, and lecture notes on groups and subgroups.

📐 Math expressions

Formal proofs and definitions involving normal subgroups.

💻 CS education

Cryptography and algebra courses covering group structures.

🎓 Online courses

Interactive math modules with web-based notation.

🌐 Reference guides

Unicode charts and HTML entity documentation for math symbols.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &nltri; for readable group-theory markup
  • Distinguish ⋪ from ⊳ (normal subgroup of) and ⋬ (not normal subgroup or equal)
  • Pair ⋪ with plain-language description on first use
  • Add aria-label for standalone relation symbols
  • Serve pages with UTF-8 (<meta charset="utf-8">)

Don’t

  • Confuse ⋪ (&nltri;) with ⊳ (&vrtri;)
  • Confuse ⋪ with ⋬ (&nltrie;, not normal subgroup or equal)
  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+022EA—the correct value is U+22EA
  • Put CSS escape \22EA in HTML text nodes
  • Use \022EA in CSS—the correct escape is \22EA

Key Takeaways

1

Three HTML references plus CSS all render ⋪

&#x22EA; &#8938; &nltri;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property

&nltri; is the preferred named entity for readable source markup

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Use &nltri; (named), &#x22EA; (hex), &#8938; (decimal), or \22EA in CSS content. All produce ⋪.
U+22EA (DOES NOT CONTAIN AS NORMAL SUBGROUP). Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF). Hex 22EA, decimal 8938. Named entity: &nltri;.
In group theory and abstract algebra when expressing that a subgroup is not normal in a given group—for example, when conjugation of the subgroup by group elements does not stay within the subgroup.
HTML references (&#8938;, &#x22EA;, or &nltri;) go directly in markup. The CSS escape \22EA is used in stylesheets, typically in the content property of pseudo-elements. Same visual result, different layers of the stack.
Yes. &nltri; is the named HTML entity for U+22EA and is the most readable option in source markup.
