How It Works
1. Hex:U+023A → Ⱥ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ⱥ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 570 → Ⱥ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \023A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ⱥ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ⱥ in UTF-8, and use ⱥ (U+2C65) for the lowercase form.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase A Stroke.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+023A. Use Ⱥ or Ⱥ.
A
Not plain A
Keyboard A is U+0041. Use U+023A only when you need the stroked capital letter.
Å
Not A with ring
Å (Å) has a ring above. Stroke is a bar through the letter (Ⱥ).
ⱥ
Case pair
Lowercase a with stroke is U+2C65 (ⱥ). Pick the case that matches your text.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\023A belongs in CSS strings. Ⱥ / Ⱥ belong in HTML.
Fonts

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