Definition

What Is the Lowercase C Acute Entity?

Lowercase c acute (ć) is the Latin Extended-A character at Unicode U+0107 (LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH ACUTE). It is the letter c with an acute accent — used in Polish and other Latin-script languages.

Remember

Character     ć
Unicode       U+0107
Named entity  &cacute;
Hex entity    &#x107;
Decimal       &#263;
CSS escape    \0107
Capital       &Cacute; (Ć)

Named, hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ć. Prefer &cacute; in HTML source for clarity.

Four ways to produce ć in a single document.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Lowercase C Acute (&cacute;)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\0107";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Named Entity: &cacute;</p>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x107;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#263;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p lang="pl">Polski: &cacute;ma</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &cacute; is the clearest HTML form and renders ć.

2. Hex: U+0107 → ć in HTML. Same result as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 263 → ć. Same result as hex.

4. CSS: use \0107 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ć after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with lowercase c acute.

Case

`&cacute;` ≠ `&Cacute;`

Named entities are case-sensitive. Lowercase is ć; uppercase is Ć.

Look-alikes

Not plain `c` or caron

Do not substitute ASCII c or c caron (č) when Polish spelling requires acute.

Compose

Prefer precomposed

Use &cacute; instead of stacking combining acute on c when the precomposed form exists.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0107 belongs in CSS. &cacute; / ć / ć belong in HTML.

Encoding

Declare UTF-8

If you type ć directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &cacute;, not &cacute.
