Four ways to display ᴣ in HTML and CSS.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Ezh Small (U+1D23) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\1D23";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x1D23;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#7459;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: ᴣ</p>
  <p>Compare: &#x1D23; vs &#x0292;</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: ᴣ inserts code point U+1D23 → ᴣ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 7459 → ᴣ. Same visual as hex.

3. CSS: use \1D23 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ᴣ.

4. Typed: paste ᴣ in a UTF-8 document, or compare with plain ezh via ʒ.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Ezh small.

Name

No named entity

There is no HTML5 named entity for U+1D23. Use ᴣ or ᴣ. Do not invent &ezhsmall;.

Not plain ezh

U+0292 (ʒ) is the standard IPA /ʒ/ letter. Use small capital ezh only when you need this specific glyph.

Not capital ezh

U+01B7 (Ʒ) is the full Latin capital letter ezh — taller and typically used as a capital, not a small capital.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\1D23 belongs in CSS strings. ᴣ / ᴣ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Phonetic Extensions coverage

Some fonts omit Phonetic Extensions. Prefer a font with solid phonetic coverage when ᴣ must be visible.

Add accessible text

Screen readers may not announce ᴣ clearly. Prefer nearby prose (for example “small capital ezh”) when the symbol carries meaning.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish entities with ; — write ᴣ, not &#x1D23.

Compatibility

Ezh small (U+1D23) and its entity forms (ᴣ, ᴣ, CSS \\1D23) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Phonetic Extensions font coverage.
