🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
ɟ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 25F to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.
Decimal HTML Code
ɟ uses the decimal Unicode value 607 to display the same character. A common method for IPA Extension characters.
CSS Entity
\25F 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: ɟ. Unicode U+025F sits in the IPA Extensions block (U+0250–U+02AF). Do not confuse ɟ with ƒ (f hook / florin) or plain f (U+0066). There is no named HTML entity.
Use Cases
The lowercase f reverse (ɟ) is commonly used in:
International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions for the voiced palatal stop [ɟ].
Phonetic notation for the “gy” sound in Hungarian (e.g., magyar, gyerek).
Scholarly articles, phonetics textbooks, and phonetic transcription systems.
Dictionaries and courses showing correct IPA and Hungarian phonetic spelling.
Linguistics, phonetics, and Hungarian studies with correct character rendering.
Correct encoding so IPA and Hungarian phonetic content is indexed consistently.
Font documentation and typographic projects using IPA Extension glyphs.
💡 Best Practices
Do
- Use
ɟorɟin HTML (no named entity exists) - Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ɟ directly in UTF-8 source
- Pick one style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency
- Use fonts that support IPA Extensions (U+0250–U+02AF)
- Distinguish ɟ (f reverse) from ƒ (f hook) and plain
f
Don’t
- Assume a named entity exists—there is none for ɟ
- Substitute ƒ (
ƒ) or plainfwhen ɟ is required - Put CSS escape
\25Fin HTML text nodes - Assume all fonts render IPA Extension glyphs identically
- Confuse ɟ with other f variants (hook, tail, plain letter)
