Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+2132 → Ⅎ in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 8498 → Ⅎ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \2132 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Compare: plain F, turned capital Ⅎ, and turned small ⅎ are three different characters.

Named?
