How It Works
1. Hex / decimal:U+010C → Č or Č in HTML.
2. Named:Č is the readable HTML5 alias for the same code point.
3. CSS: use \010C in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.
4. Language sample:lang="cs" marks Czech context; ý is ý in “Český”.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this character.
Named
Prefer Č
The named entity is easier to read than numeric forms. Keep the trailing semicolon.
Look-alikes
Caron ≠ acute
U+010C is Č (caron). U+0106 is Ć (acute). U+0043 is plain C. Do not swap them.
Case
Use the correct case pair
Lowercase is č (U+010D). Named entities are case-sensitive: Č ≠ č.
Combining
Prefer the precomposed form
Use U+010C rather than C + combining caron unless you have a specific normalization reason.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\010C belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Č, not &Ccaron.
