🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x0292; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 0292 to display the ezh. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#658; uses the decimal Unicode value 658 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

CSS Entity

\292 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: ʒ. Unicode U+0292 sits in Latin Extended-B. Lowercase counterpart: U+0292 (ʒ). There is no named HTML entity. Do not confuse with plain Z (U+005A).

Use Cases

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#658; or &#x0292; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ʒ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F)
  • Distinguish ʒ (ezh) from plain Z (U+005A) and Ǯ (ezh caron)
  • Pick one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for ʒ
  • Substitute plain Z or 3 when ʒ is required in linguistic notation
  • Put CSS escape \292 in HTML text nodes
  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+00292—the correct value is U+0292
  • Use \00292 in CSS—the correct escape is \292

Key Takeaways
