How It Works
1. Hex:U+0226 → Ȧ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ȧ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 550 → Ȧ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \226 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ȧ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ȧ in UTF-8, and use ȧ (U+0227) for the lowercase form.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase A Above Dot.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0226. Use Ȧ or Ȧ.
A
Not plain A
Keyboard A is U+0041. Use U+0226 only when you need the precomposed dotted capital.
Combine
Prefer precomposed
A + combining dot above (U+0307) can look similar but is two code points. Prefer Ȧ when the precomposed letter is available.
ȧ
Case pair
Lowercase a with dot above is U+0227 (ȧ). Pick the case that matches your text.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\226 belongs in CSS strings. Ȧ / Ȧ belong in HTML.
Fonts

Some UI fonts omit Latin Extended-B letters. Prefer a font that covers this block for display.
