How It Works
1. Hex:U+207A → ⁺ in HTML. The browser turns it into ⁺.
2. Decimal: same code point as 8314 → ⁺. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \207A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⁺ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / example: paste ⁺ in UTF-8, or write Na⁺ for a short positive ion example.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Superscript Plus.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+207A. Use ⁺ or ⁺.
+
Not a normal plus
Plain + is U+002B. Prefer U+207A only when you need the precomposed superscript form.
⁻
Not superscript minus
Superscript minus is U+207B (⁻). Use U+207A for the plus form.
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
\207A belongs in CSS strings. ⁺ / ⁺ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End numeric references
Always finish with ; — write ⁺, not ⁺.
