Hex + Decimal + CSS

Three ways to produce ƹ (no named entity).

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Lowercase Ezh Reverse (ƹ)</title>
  <style>
    #glyph::after {
      content: "\01B9";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x1B9;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#441;</p>
  <p id="glyph">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p lang="und"><code>&#x1B9;</code></p>
</body>
</html>
Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+01B9 → &#x1B9; in HTML (leading zero optional). Clearest numeric form when there is no named entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 441 → &#441;. Same glyph as hex.

3. CSS: use \01B9 in content (not an HTML entity). #glyph::after appends that ƹ after the paragraph text.

4. Language: lang="und" suits phonetic / undetermined transcription samples.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+01B9.

vs ʒ

Reversed ≠ standard ezh

ʒ (U+0292) is the usual IPA ezh. ƹ (U+01B9) is its reversed counterpart — a different code point.

vs ƺ / ǯ

Not tail or caron forms

ƺ is U+01BA (ezh with tail). ǯ is U+01EF (ezh with caron). Neither is reversed ezh.

Named

No named entity

There is no named HTML entity for U+01B9. Use hex or decimal references.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01B9 belongs in CSS strings. &#x1B9; / &#441; belong in HTML.

A11y

Gloss rare letters

Pair the glyph with nearby words (for example “reversed ezh”) when it stands alone. Use lang="und" for phonetic samples.

Fonts

Need Extended Latin coverage

The glyph needs a font with Latin Extended-B support. Many linguistics and Unicode fonts include it.
