🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
ǯ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 1EF to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.
Decimal HTML Code
ǯ uses the decimal Unicode value 495 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.
CSS Entity
\1EF 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: ǯ. Unicode U+01EF sits in Latin Extended-B. Do not confuse ǯ (ezh with caron) with plain ezh ʒ (U+0292). There is no named HTML entity.
