Definition

What Is the Uppercase F Turned Small Entity?

Uppercase F Turned Small (ⅎ) is the Unicode character at U+214E (TURNED SMALL F) in Letterlike Symbols. It is a small F rotated 180° — a distinct letterlike symbol, not ordinary f with CSS transform.

Remember

    #point::after {
      content: "\214E";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x214E;</p>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+214E → ⅎ in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 8526 → ⅎ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \214E in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

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

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+214E. Use numeric forms.

Look-alikes

Not CSS-rotated f

U+214E is a real Unicode character. Rotating f with CSS is a visual trick and is not the same for copy, search, or accessibility.

Size

Small vs capital turned F

U+214E is TURNED SMALL F. U+2132 is TURNED CAPITAL F. Pick the size that matches your notation.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\214E belongs in CSS. ⅎ / ⅎ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Check Letterlike Symbols coverage

Some fonts omit U+214E. Prefer fonts with good Letterlike Symbols support.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ⅎ, not &#8526.
