What You'll Learn

How to display the lowercase c with dot above (ċ) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. Essential for Maltese and old Irish orthography, it is a standard letter in the Maltese alphabet and appears in words such as ċent, ċirku, and ċavetta. It is U+010B in the Latin Extended-A block.

Render it with ċ, ċ, or CSS escape \010B. There is no named HTML entity for ċ—do not use ċ, which renders the middle dot (·, U+00B7) instead.

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x010B; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 010B to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#267; uses the decimal Unicode value 267 to display the same character. One of the most commonly used methods in HTML.

3

CSS Entity

\010B 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: ċ. Unicode U+010B sits in Latin Extended-A. Do not confuse ċ with plain c (U+0063) or &cdot; (middle dot ·, U+00B7). There is no named HTML entity.

Use Cases

The lowercase c dot above (ċ) is commonly used in:

🇲🇹 Maltese content

Correct spelling in Maltese text, where ċ is a standard letter of the alphabet.

🇮🇪 Old Irish orthography

📄 Academic publishing

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#267; or &#x010B; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ċ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Set lang="mt" on Maltese content for correct language handling
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-A characters
  • Distinguish ċ from plain c and from · (middle dot)

Don’t

  • Use &cdot; for ċ—it renders the middle dot (·, U+00B7)
  • Substitute plain c when ċ is required for correct Maltese spelling
  • Put CSS escape \010B in HTML text nodes
  • Assume all fonts render Latin Extended-A glyphs identically
  • Mix entity styles randomly in one file

Key Takeaways
