Lowercase j caron (ǰ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+01F0 (LATIN SMALL LETTER J WITH CARON). It is the letter j with a caron (háček) above — used in Slavic linguistics, Pinyin, and transliteration. You can paste ǰ in a UTF-8 file, or use a numeric character reference when encoding must be explicit.
Remember
Character ǰ
Unicode U+01F0
Hex entity ǰ
Decimal ǰ
CSS escape \01F0
Named entity (none)
All of these produce the same glyph: ǰ. Prefer typing or pasting ǰ in UTF-8 pages; use entities for CSS content, generated markup, or when encoding must be explicit.
J Caron using Hex Code: ǰ
J Caron using HTML Code: ǰ
J Caron using CSS Entity: ǰ
Typed / pasted: ǰ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+01F0 → ǰ in HTML. The browser turns it into ǰ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 496 → ǰ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \01F0 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ǰ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ǰ: fine in UTF-8 documents. All four lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the j caron entity.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for ǰ. Use numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01F0 belongs in CSS. ǰ / ǰ belong in HTML.
Look-alikes
Not plain j
Plain j is U+006A. ǰ includes a caron (háček) diacritic.
Compose
Prefer precomposed
Use ǰ instead of j plus combining caron (U+030C) when the precomposed form exists.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ǰ, not ǰ.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ǰ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
