How It Works
1. Hex:U+020A → Ȋ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ȋ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 522 → Ȋ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \020A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ȋ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ȋ in UTF-8, and use ȋ (U+020B) for the lowercase form.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase I Inverted Breve.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+020A. Use Ȋ or Ȋ.
vs Ĭ
Not a regular breve
Ĭ (&Ibreve;) has a normal breve. Inverted breve faces the other way (Ȋ).
vs I
Not plain capital I
Keyboard I is U+0049. Use U+020A only when you need the inverted-breve capital letter.
ȋ
Case pair
Lowercase i with inverted breve is U+020B (ȋ). Pick the case that matches your text.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\020A belongs in CSS strings. Ȋ / Ȋ belong in HTML.
