Definition

What Is the Nj Entity?

Nj (ǌ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+01CC (LATIN SMALL LETTER NJ). It is a single digraph letter that looks like fused n+j, used in Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian Latin orthography. HTML5 defines no named entity for it.

Remember

Character     ǌ
Unicode       U+01CC
Named entity  (none)
Hex entity    &#x01CC;
Decimal       &#460;
CSS escape    \01CC

All of these produce the same glyph: ǌ. Prefer a pasted ǌ in UTF-8 pages; use numeric or CSS forms when you need an escape.

Reference

Quick Reference

One table for every form you will actually use.

Form	Code	Where it goes
Direct character	`ǌ`	HTML text (UTF-8 default)
Named entity	none	Not defined in HTML5
Hex entity	`ǌ`	HTML markup
Decimal entity	`ǌ`	HTML markup
CSS escape	`\01CC`	Stylesheet `content`

When to Use Which

Serbian / Croatian / Bosnian UTF-8 text	Type or paste `ǌ`
Numeric entity required	`ǌ` or `ǌ`
Generated text via `::before` / `::after`	`content: "\01CC"`

Hex + Decimal + Direct + CSS

Four ways to produce ǌ in a single document (no named entity).

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Nj (ǌ) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\01CC";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x01CC;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#460;</p>
  <p>Using Direct Character: ǌ</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Cases: Ǌ ǋ ǌ</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+01CC → ǌ in HTML. Reliable numeric form.

2. Decimal: same code point as 460 → ǌ. Same glyph.

3. Direct: paste ǌ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.

4. CSS: use \01CC in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ǌ after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with the Nj digraph entity.

Named

No named entity

HTML5 has no &... name for U+01CC — use hex or decimal instead.

One vs two

Digraph ≠ “nj”

ǌ is one code point. Typing n+j is two characters and will not match searches or fonts the same way.

Case

Three case forms

Capital Ǌ is U+01CA; title-case ǋ is U+01CB; small ǌ is U+01CC.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01CC belongs in CSS. ǌ / ǌ belong in HTML.

Sibling

Not lj (ǉ)

Lj digraph small is U+01C9 — a different digraph. Do not swap them.

UTF-8

Declare charset

If you paste ǌ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Nj (U+01CC) and its entity forms (ǌ, ǌ, CSS \\01CC) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Glyph availability depends on the font.

✓ Universal support

Nj (ǌ)

Paste ǌ, or encode with hex, decimal, or CSS escape — same glyph everywhere. No named entity.

U+01CC / entities Full support

Bottom line: Prefer a pasted ǌ in UTF-8 text. Use ǌ / ǌ when a numeric form is required, and \\01CC only inside CSS content.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: Nj is U+01CC (decimal 460), Latin Extended-B digraph.
HTML: no named entity — use ǌ or ǌ.
CSS: use \01CC inside content for generated text.
Use: Slavic Latin digraph — not the same as typing nj or ǉ.

One line: U+01CC → ǌ / ǌ / CSS \01CC (no named entity).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I display Nj (ǌ) in HTML using entities?

Use ǌ (hex), ǌ (decimal), type ǌ in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \01CC in content. There is no HTML5 named entity for U+01CC.

What is the Unicode value for Nj?

U+01CC (LATIN SMALL LETTER NJ). Hex 01CC, decimal 460. It belongs to Latin Extended-B and is a digraph letter in Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian Latin text.

Is there a named HTML entity for ǌ?

No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character. Use numeric references like ǌ or ǌ when you need an entity form.

When should I use the Nj HTML entity?

Use it for Serbian, Croatian, or Bosnian Latin orthography that requires the digraph character. Prefer a pasted ǌ in UTF-8 when possible. For ordinary English, type n then j as two letters.

What is the difference between HTML code and CSS entity for ǌ?

HTML entities (ǌ or ǌ) go in markup. The CSS escape \01CC is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ǌ.

How is ǌ different from typing n + j or from capital Nj forms?

Typing n then j produces two characters (U+006E + U+006A). The digraph ǌ is one code point. Capital is U+01CA (Ǌ); title case is U+01CB (ǋ). Do not substitute one for another.
