3

CSS Entity

\22E5 is the CSS escape for U+22E5, used in the content property of pseudo-elements.

CSS stylesheet
=

Same visual result

All three methods produce . Unicode U+22E5 in Mathematical Operators (U+2200–U+22FF). No named entity.

Use Cases

Square Original Of Not Equal To (⋥) commonly appears in:

📊 Set theory

Strict inequality in square original and superset-like relationships.

📐 Mathematical notation

Equations and formulas using the not-equal square original operator.

📚 Academic papers

Research on order theory, logic, and abstract algebra.

🏫 Educational content

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#x22E5; or &#8933; in HTML markup
  • Distinguish ⋥ from ⊐ (original, &sqsup;) and ⊒ (or equal, &sqsupe;)
  • Add context text when the symbol stands alone in educational content
  • Pick hex or decimal style and stay consistent per project
  • Test rendering with math-friendly fonts

Don’t

  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+022E5—the correct value is U+22E5
  • Use CSS \022E5 with a leading zero—prefer \22E5
  • Expect a named HTML entity for U+22E5
  • Confuse ⋥ (original not equal) with ⋤ (image not equal)
  • Put CSS escape \22E5 in HTML text nodes
