🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x206; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 206 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#518; uses the decimal Unicode value 518 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

HTML markup
3

CSS Entity

\206 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

Same visual result

All three methods produce the glyph: Ȇ. Unicode U+0206 sits in Latin Extended-B. Lowercase equivalent: U+0207 (ȇ). There is no named HTML entity. Do not confuse with Ĕ (breve, U+0114).

Use Cases

The uppercase E inverted breve (Ȇ) is commonly used in:

🔤 Linguistics

Dialectology and phonetic notation for tone, stress, or vowel quality.

🌐 Internationalization

Websites and apps for Slavic languages or linguistic research requiring Ȇ.

📚 Language learning

Dictionaries and learning resources showing correct tone with inverted-breve marks.

🔍 Search & SEO

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#518; or &#x206; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ȇ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Set lang attributes for localized linguistic content
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B diacritics
  • Distinguish Ȇ (inverted breve) from Ĕ (breve) and plain E

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for Ȇ
  • Substitute Ĕ (breve) when Ȇ (inverted breve) is required
  • Put CSS escape \206 in HTML text nodes
  • Assume all fonts render Latin Extended-B inverted-breve glyphs
  • Omit UTF-8 encoding on pages with extended Latin characters
