How It Works
1. Hex / decimal:U+010A → Ċ or Ċ in HTML.
2. Named:Ċ is the readable HTML5 alias for the same code point.
3. CSS: use \010A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.
4. Language sample:lang="mt" marks Maltese context for assistive tech and hyphenation.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this character.
Named
Prefer Ċ
The named entity is easier to read than numeric forms. Keep the trailing semicolon.
Look-alikes
ċ ≠ ⋅
ċ is lowercase ċ (U+010B). ⋅ is the math dot operator (U+22C5). Do not mix them.
Case
Use the correct case pair
Lowercase is ċ (U+010B). Named entities are case-sensitive: Ċ ≠ ċ.
Combining
Prefer the precomposed form
Use U+010A rather than C + combining dot above unless you have a specific normalization reason.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\010A belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Ċ, not &Cdot.
