Definition

What Is Fn Feng Digraph?

Fn feng digraph (ʩ) is the Unicode character at U+02A9 in IPA Extensions. Official name: LATIN SMALL LETTER FENG DIGRAPH. It is a single phonetic letter (a digraph glyph), not the two separate letters f and n.

Remember

Character     ʩ
Unicode       U+02A9
Hex entity    &#x02A9;
Decimal       &#681;
CSS escape    \02A9
Named entity  (none)
Not the same  fn (two letters) · ŋ (eng) · ʃ (esh)

Prefer ʩ or ʩ in HTML (no named form). You can also type ʩ in a UTF-8 document.

Reference

Quick Reference

One table for every form you will actually use.

Form	Code	Where it goes
Named entity	None	—
Hex entity	`ʩ`	HTML markup (preferred)
Decimal entity	`ʩ`	HTML markup
Direct character	`ʩ`	HTML text (UTF-8)
CSS escape	`\02A9`	Stylesheet `content`

When to Use Which

Situation	Use
This digraph as one character	`ʩ` or type `ʩ`
Ordinary letters f + n	Type `fn` — not U+02A9
Eng letter (ŋ)	ŋ (`U+014B`) — separate character
Other IPA letters	Esh (ʃ) · Ezh (ʒ)
Generated text via `::before` / `::after`	`content: "\02A9"`

Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

Four ways to display ʩ in HTML and CSS.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Fn Feng Digraph (U+02A9) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\02A9";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x02A9;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#681;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: ʩ</p>
  <p>IPA sample: [&#x02A9;]</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: ʩ inserts code point U+02A9 → ʩ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 681 → ʩ. Same visual as hex.

3. CSS: use \02A9 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ʩ.

4. Typed: paste ʩ in a UTF-8 document when you need the digraph as one letter.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Fn feng digraph.

Name

No named entity

There is no HTML5 named entity for U+02A9. Use ʩ or ʩ. Do not invent &feng;.

Not two letters

Typing fn creates two Basic Latin characters. The digraph ʩ is one Unicode letter.

Not eng alone

Eng (ŋ, U+014B) is a different letter. Do not combine f + ŋ and expect U+02A9 unless you normalize to that code point.

Font

Font coverage

IPA Extensions glyphs may be missing in some fonts. Prefer a font with IPA coverage for reliable rendering.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\02A9 belongs in CSS strings. ʩ / ʩ belong in HTML.

Add accessible text

Screen readers may not announce ʩ clearly. Prefer nearby prose (for example “feng digraph”) when the letter carries meaning.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish entities with ; — write ʩ, not &#x02A9.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Fn feng digraph (U+02A9) and its entity forms (ʩ, ʩ, CSS \\02A9) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on IPA Extensions font coverage.

✓ Universal support

Bottom line: Prefer ʩ in HTML (no named form). Use ʩ when decimal form is required, and \\02A9 only inside CSS content.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: fn feng digraph is U+02A9 (decimal 681) — glyph ʩ.
HTML: no named entity — use ʩ / ʩ / type ʩ.
CSS: use \02A9 inside content for generated text.
Meaning: ʩ ≠ fn ≠ eng ŋ ≠ esh ʃ.

One line: U+02A9 → ʩ / ʩ / CSS \02A9 (no named form).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I display ʩ in HTML?

Use ʩ (hex), ʩ (decimal), type ʩ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \02A9 in content. There is no named HTML entity for U+02A9.

What is the Unicode value for this letter?

U+02A9 (LATIN SMALL LETTER FENG DIGRAPH). Hex 02A9, decimal 681. It belongs to the IPA Extensions block (U+0250–U+02AF).

Is there a named HTML entity for the fn feng digraph?

No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+02A9. Prefer ʩ or ʩ.

When should I use U+02A9?

Use it in phonetic/IPA-related text when you need this digraph as one character. Do not substitute separate letters f and n (or f and ŋ) if the digraph glyph is required.

What is the difference between HTML code and CSS entity for U+02A9?

HTML numeric entities (ʩ or ʩ) go in markup. The CSS escape \02A9 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).

Is U+02A9 the same as typing fn or ŋ?

No. U+02A9 is one digraph character (ʩ). Typing f and n (or f and eng ŋ) creates two (or more) separate characters, not U+02A9.

Did you know?

Fn feng digraph is Unicode U+02A9 (decimal 681) — glyph ʩ (LATIN SMALL LETTER FENG DIGRAPH) in IPA Extensions. There is no HTML5 named entity; use ʩ or ʩ. It is a single character digraph historically related to f + eng (ŋ). Do not confuse it with typing fn as two letters, or with esh (ʃ) / ezh (ʒ).
