🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
ƺ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 1BA to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.
Decimal HTML Code
ƺ uses the decimal Unicode value 442 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.
CSS Entity
\1BA 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: ƺ. Unicode U+01BA sits in Latin Extended-B. Do not confuse ƺ (ezh with tail) with ʒ (standard ezh) or ƹ (ezh reversed). There is no named HTML entity.
Use Cases
The lowercase ezh tail (ƺ) is commonly used in:
Twi (Akan) orthography and language content requiring the ezh-with-tail letter.
Linguistic and phonetic transcription for labialized fricative notation.
IPA-related notation and phonetic reference materials.
Scholarly articles, research sites, and academic linguistics papers.
Dictionary entries and courses for Twi and related languages.
Correct encoding so specialized language content is indexed consistently.
Font documentation and typographic projects using extended Latin letters.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Use
ƺorƺin HTML (no named entity exists) - Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ƺ directly in UTF-8 source
- Pick one style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency
- Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F)
- Distinguish ƺ (ezh tail) from ʒ (standard ezh) and ƹ (ezh reversed)
Don’t
- Assume a named entity exists—there is none for ƺ
- Substitute standard ezh ʒ or
zwhen ƺ is required - Put CSS escape
\1BAin HTML text nodes - Assume all fonts render Latin Extended-B glyphs identically
- Confuse ƺ with other ezh variants (caron, reversed, plain)
