How It Works
1. Hex:U+0202 → Ȃ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ȃ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 514 → Ȃ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \202 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ȃ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ȃ in UTF-8, and use ȃ (U+0203) for the lowercase form.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase A Inverted Breve.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0202. Use Ȃ or Ȃ.
Ă
Not regular breve
Ă (U+0102) is A with breve. Ȃ is A with inverted breve. The marks face opposite ways.
ȃ
Case pair
Lowercase a with inverted breve is U+0203 (ȃ). Pick the case that matches your text.
Combine
Prefer precomposed
A + combining inverted breve can look similar but is two code points. Prefer Ȃ when the precomposed letter is available.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\202 belongs in CSS strings. Ȃ / Ȃ belong in HTML.
Fonts

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