Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+0108 → &#x0108; or &#264; in HTML.

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

3. CSS: use \0108 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Language sample: lang="eo" marks Esperanto context for assistive tech and hyphenation.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named

Prefer &Ccirc;

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

Look-alikes

Not plain C or Ç

U+0108 is Ĉ (circumflex). U+0043 is plain C. U+00C7 is Ç (cedilla). Do not swap them.

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is &ccirc; (U+0109). Named entities are case-sensitive: &Ccirc; ≠ &ccirc;.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed form

Use U+0108 rather than C + combining circumflex unless you have a specific normalization reason.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0108 belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

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