z🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
ƹ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 1B9 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.
Decimal HTML Code
ƹ uses the decimal Unicode value 441 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.
CSS Entity
\1B9 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: ƹ. Unicode U+01B9 sits in Latin Extended-B. Do not confuse ƹ (ezh reversed) with ʒ (standard ezh) or ǯ (ezh with caron). There is no named HTML entity.
