How It Works
1. Named:ǵ is the HTML5 name for U+01F5 → ǵ. Prefer this in markup.
2. Hex:ǵ inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 501 → ǵ.
4. CSS: use \01F5 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ǵ.
5. Typed: paste ǵ in a UTF-8 document when you need the accented g directly.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with lowercase g acute.
Name
Prefer ǵ
The named entity is clearer than inventing names — use ǵ for U+01F5 in HTML.
g
Not plain g
Plain g is U+0067. Use ǵ only when the acute accent is required.
Case
Uppercase has no named entity
Uppercase G acute is Ǵ (U+01F4). Do not use ǵ for the capital — use Ǵ or Ǵ.
Look-alikes
Not g breve
ğ (ğ, U+011F) is a different accent. Acute and breve are not interchangeable.
CSS
Pad the CSS escape
Prefer \01F5 (four hex digits). A short \1F5 can swallow the next hex digit if one follows immediately.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01F5 belongs in CSS strings. ǵ / ǵ / ǵ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ǵ, not &gacute.
