Small element of with overbar (⋷) is the Unicode character at U+22F7 in Mathematical Operators. Official name: SMALL ELEMENT OF WITH OVERBAR. It is a set-theory style membership relation with an overbar.
Remember
Character ⋷
Unicode U+22F7
Named entity ⋷
Hex entity ⋷
Decimal ⋷
CSS escape \22F7
Not the same ⋶ · ∊ · ∈
Prefer ⋷ in HTML markup. You can also type ⋷ in UTF-8, or use numeric forms when needed. Use a math-capable font for the clearest glyph.
Using Named Entity: ⋶
Using Hex Code: ⋶
Using HTML Code: ⋶
Using CSS Entity: ⋶
Typed directly: ⋶
Relation: x ⋶ A
How It Works
1. Named:⋷ is the HTML5 name for U+22F7 → ⋷. Best default in markup.
2. Hex:U+22F7 → ⋷ in HTML. Same glyph as the named form.
3. Decimal: same code point as 8951 → ⋷. Same result as hex and named.
4. CSS: use \22F7 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⋷ after the paragraph text.
5. Typed / math: paste ⋷ in UTF-8, or write x ⋷ A for a simple relation example.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with ⋷.
vs ⋶
Not the full-size overbar form
U+22F6 (⋶, ⋶) is element of with overbar. U+22F7 is the small form — different characters.
vs ∊
Not plain small element of
∊ (U+220A) has no overbar. Do not swap it with ⋷.
Name
Remember ⋷
The named entity is ⋷ — not ⋶ (that is U+22F6).
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\22F7 belongs in CSS strings. ⋷ / ⋷ / ⋷ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End named entities
Always finish with ; — write ⋷, not ¬invb.
Fonts
Use a math font
Some UI fonts omit U+22F7. Prefer Cambria Math, STIX, or similar for readable operators.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Small element of with overbar (U+22F7) and its entity forms (⋷, ⋷, ⋷, CSS \\22F7) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Mathematical Operators font coverage.
✓ Universal support
Small Element Of With Overbar (⋷)
Encode with named, hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

Bottom line: Prefer ⋷ in HTML. Use ⋷ / ⋷ when numeric form is required, and \\22F7 only inside CSS content.

Key Takeaways
Unicode: small element of with overbar is U+22F7 (decimal 8951) — glyph ⋷.
HTML: prefer ⋷ — also ⋷ / ⋷ / type ⋷.
CSS: use \22F7 inside content for generated text.
Meaning:⋷ is the small overbar form — not ⋶ (⋶), not ∊.
Use ⋷ (named), ⋷ (hex), ⋷ (decimal), type ⋶ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \22F7 in content. Prefer ⋷ in normal HTML.
U+22F7 (SMALL ELEMENT OF WITH OVERBAR). Hex 22F7, decimal 8951. It belongs to the Mathematical Operators block (U+2200–U+22FF).
Yes. Use ⋷. Numeric forms ⋷ and ⋷ also work. Do not confuse with ⋶ (U+22F6).
No. ⋶ is U+22F7 (⋷). Related but different: U+22F6 (element of with overbar, ⋶), U+220A (small element of), and U+2208 (element of, ∈).
Use it in set theory and math documentation when you need the small element-of-with-overbar operator. Prefer a math-capable font for clear glyphs.
HTML entities (⋷, ⋷, or ⋷) go in markup. The CSS escape \22F7 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
