Properties of topologically invertible elements and the topological spectrum of elements in unital semitopological algebras are studied. It is shown that the inversion is continuous in every invertive Fréchet algebra, and singly generated unital semitopological algebras have continuous characters if and only if the topological spectrum of the generator is non-empty. Several open problems are presented.
