Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+0212 → &#x0212; in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 530 → &#530;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \0212 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Compare: plain R, uppercase inverted breve Ȓ, and lowercase inverted breve ȓ 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+0212. Use numeric forms.

Look-alikes

Not plain R

U+0212 includes the inverted breve. Do not replace it with U+0052 when the mark is required.

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is U+0213 (&#x0213; / &#531;). Keep case consistent in linguistic notation.

Fonts

Check Extended-B coverage

Some fonts omit U+0212. Prefer fonts with good Latin Extended-B / phonetic support.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0212 belongs in CSS. &#x0212; / &#530; belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#530;, not &#530.

Compatibility
