🧠 How It Works
Hexadecimal Code
ǧ uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 01E7 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.
Decimal HTML Code
ǧ uses the decimal Unicode value 487 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.
CSS Entity
\01E7 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: ǧ. Unicode U+01E7 sits in Latin Extended-B. Do not confuse ǧ (g caron) with ğ (g breve) or plain g (U+0067). There is no named HTML entity.
