Uppercase E with inverted breve (Ȇ) is the Unicode character at U+0206 in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E WITH INVERTED BREVE — a capital E with an upside-down breve (an arch that opens downward), used in phonetic and linguistic notation.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+0206 → Ȇ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 518 → Ȇ. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \0206 in content (not an HTML entity). Prefer the four-digit form so the escape is not ambiguous next to other hex digits. #point::after appends that Ȇ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ȇ in UTF-8, or show the case pair with Ȇ / ȇ.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+0206 — use numeric references or type the character. &Ebreve; is Ĕ, not this letter.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+0206.
vs Ĕ
Not a normal breve
Ĕ (&Ebreve;) opens upward (a short smile). Ȇ is inverted — the arch opens downward. Do not reuse &Ebreve;.
vs È
Not a grave
È (È) is a single sloping accent. An inverted breve is a curved arch, not a grave.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no &Einvertedbreve; for U+0206. Use Ȇ or Ȇ.
CSS
Prefer \0206 over \206
A short escape like \206 can swallow following hex digits. Use \0206 (or end the escape with a space) in CSS strings.
Fonts
Needs Latin Extended-B coverage
Some UI fonts omit rarer Latin Extended-B letters. Prefer a stack with good Latin coverage if the glyph must always show.
A11y
Use real language text
When this letter appears in real words, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
