Lowercase n curl (ȵ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+0235 (LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH CURL). It is the letter n with a curl — used in phonetic and Sinological transcription for the alveolo-palatal nasal. You can paste ȵ in a UTF-8 file, or use a numeric character reference when encoding must be explicit.
Remember
Character ȵ
Unicode U+0235
Hex entity ȵ
Decimal ȵ
CSS escape \0235
Named entity (none)
All of these produce the same glyph: ȵ. Prefer typing or pasting ȵ in UTF-8 pages; use entities for CSS content, generated markup, or when encoding must be explicit.
N Curl using Hex Code: ȵ
N Curl using HTML Code: ȵ
N Curl using CSS Entity: ȵ
Typed / pasted: ȵ
Phonetic: [ȵ] alveolo-palatal nasal
How It Works
1. Hex:U+0235 → ȵ in HTML. The browser turns it into ȵ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 565 → ȵ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \0235 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ȵ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed ȵ: fine in UTF-8 documents. All four encoding lines show the same glyph.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the n curl entity.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for ȵ. Use numeric forms.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0235 belongs in CSS. ȵ / ȵ belong in HTML.
Look-alikes
Not n or eng
Plain n is U+006E. Eng ŋ is U+014B. ȵ has a curl and marks a different nasal.
Fonts
Glyph coverage
Some fonts omit Latin Extended-B. If ȵ looks like a box, switch to a font that includes it (e.g. Noto Sans, DejaVu Sans).
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ȵ, not ȵ.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ȵ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Lowercase n curl (U+0235) and its numeric entity forms (ȵ, ȵ, CSS \\0235) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.

Bottom line: Use a pasted ȵ in UTF-8 text when you can. Prefer ȵ or ȵ in HTML when encoding must be explicit, and \\0235 only inside CSS content.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: n curl is U+0235 (decimal 565), Latin Extended-B.
HTML: use ȵ or ȵ when you need an entity.
CSS: use \0235 inside content for generated text.
Meaning: alveolo-palatal nasal in phonetics — not the same as plain n or eng ŋ.
One line:U+0235 → paste ȵ, or encode as ȵ / ȵ / CSS \0235.
