Latin capital glottal stop (Ɂ) is the Unicode character at U+0241 in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER GLOTTAL STOP. It is a letter for phonetics and some orthographies — not a large punctuation question mark. The path /html/entity/question-mark-big is a historical slug for this code point.

How It Works
1. Hex:U+0241 → Ɂ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ɂ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 577 → Ɂ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \0241 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends Ɂ.
4. Typed: paste Ɂ in a UTF-8 document for phonetic text. There is no named entity — numeric form is required when you need an entity.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Latin capital glottal stop.
Slug
Not a big “?”
The URL says question-mark-big, but the character is U+0241 (Ɂ) — a Latin capital letter. For punctuation, use ?.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0241. Use Ɂ or Ɂ.
ʔ
Not the IPA glottal stop
U+0294 (ʔ) is the caseless IPA glottal stop letter — related in meaning, different code point.
Fonts
Need Extended-B coverage
Some fonts omit Latin Extended-B. Prefer a font that includes U+0241 for reliable glyphs.
CSS
Pad the CSS escape
Prefer \0241 (four hex digits). A short \241 can swallow the next hex digit if one follows immediately.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0241 belongs in CSS strings. Ɂ / Ɂ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write Ɂ, not Ɂ.
