How It Works
1. Hex:U+207F → ⁿ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⁿ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8319 → ⁿ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \207F in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⁿ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / example: paste ⁿ in UTF-8, or write mⁿ for a short exponent example.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Superscript Latin Small Letter N.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+207F. Use ⁿ or ⁿ.
n
Not a normal letter n
Plain n is U+006E. Prefer U+207F only when you need the precomposed superscript form.
<sup>
Not the same as <sup>n</sup>
<sup> styles a normal n. U+207F is a different character — useful for Unicode superscript runs.
Fonts
Superscript font coverage
Some UI fonts omit Superscripts and Subscripts. Prefer a font that covers this block for display.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\207F belongs in CSS strings. ⁿ / ⁿ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End numeric references
Always finish with ; — write ⁿ, not ⁿ.
