</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+0106 → Ć or Ć in HTML.

2. Named: &Cacute; is the readable HTML5 alias for the same code point.

3. CSS: use \0106 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Language sample: lang="hr" marks Croatian context for assistive tech and hyphenation.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named

Prefer `&Cacute;`

The named entity is easier to read than numeric forms. Keep the trailing semicolon.

Look-alikes

Not plain C

U+0106 includes the acute. Do not replace it with U+0043 when spelling requires Ć.

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is &cacute; (U+0107). Case is case-sensitive in named entities: &Cacute; ≠ &cacute;.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed form

Use U+0106 rather than C + combining acute unless you have a specific normalization reason.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0106 belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &Cacute;, not &Cacute.
