🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x214E; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 214E to display the turned small F. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#8526; uses the decimal Unicode value 8526 to display the same character. A common method for Letterlike Symbols.

3

CSS Entity

\214E 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: ⅎ. Unicode U+214E sits in Letterlike Symbols. Related: turned capital F U+2132 (Ⅎ). Do not confuse with plain f (U+0066). There is no named HTML entity.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#8526; or &#x214E; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ⅎ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use fonts that support Letterlike Symbols (U+2100–U+214F)
  • Distinguish ⅎ (turned small F) from Ⅎ (turned capital F) and plain f
  • Pick one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for ⅎ
  • Substitute plain f or Ⅎ when ⅎ is required
  • Put CSS escape \214E in HTML text nodes
  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+0214E—the correct value is U+214E
  • Use \0214E in CSS—the correct escape is \214E

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render ⅎ (no named entity)

&#x214E; &#8526;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
