<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase B Six</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\0184";

  <p>Case pair: &#x0184; / &#x0185;</p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+0184 → &#x0184; in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 388 → &#388;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \0184 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Case pair: uppercase is U+0184; lowercase is U+0185 (&#x0185;).

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0184. Use numeric forms.

Look-alikes

Not B with topbar

U+0184 is tone six. U+0182 is B with topbar. U+0042 is ordinary B. Do not swap them.

Name

Official Unicode name

Unicode calls this LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TONE SIX. This site’s page title “Uppercase B Six” matches the common slug reading.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0184 belongs in CSS. &#x0184; / &#388; belong in HTML.

Fonts

Check Latin Extended-B coverage

Some fonts omit U+0184. Prefer fonts that cover Latin Extended-B for reliable glyphs.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#388;, not &#388.
