Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+207E → &#x207E; in HTML. The browser turns it into ⁾.

2. Decimal: same code point as 8318 → &#8318;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \207E in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ⁾ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / example: paste ⁾ in UTF-8, or write ⁽n⁾ to pair left and right superscript parentheses.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Superscript Right Parenthesis.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+207E. Use &#x207E; or &#8318;.

)

Not a normal parenthesis

Plain ) is U+0029. Prefer U+207E only when you need the precomposed superscript form.

⁽

Pair with the left mark

Opening superscript parenthesis is U+207D (⁽). Use both for balanced groups like ⁽n⁾.

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

\207E belongs in CSS strings. &#x207E; / &#8318; belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End numeric references

Always finish with ; — write &#8318;, not &#8318.
