Definition

What Is Uppercase 5 Tone?

Uppercase 5 tone (Ƽ) is the Unicode character at U+01BC in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER TONE FIVE. It is used in Zhuang orthography and related phonetic / tone notation — not the digit five.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase 5 Tone (Ƽ) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\01BC";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x01BC;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#444;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: Ƽ</p>
  <p>Example: Tone Ƽ mark</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+01BC → Ƽ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ƽ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 444 → Ƽ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \01BC in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ƽ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / example: paste Ƽ in UTF-8, or write Tone Ƽ mark for a short linguistic label.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Uppercase 5 Tone.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01BC. Use Ƽ or Ƽ.

Not digit five

Keyboard 5 is U+0035. Use U+01BC only when you need the Latin tone-five letter.

Case pair

Lowercase tone five is U+01BD (ƽ). Pick the case that matches your text.

Fonts

Extended Latin coverage

Some UI fonts omit Latin Extended-B letters. Prefer a font that covers this block for display.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01BC belongs in CSS strings. Ƽ / Ƽ belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End numeric references

Always finish with ; — write Ƽ, not &#444.
