html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase C Hook</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\0187";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x0187;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#391;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: &#x0187;</p>
  <p>Case pair: &#x0187; / &#x0188;</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+0187 → Ƈ in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 391 → Ƈ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \0187 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Case pair: uppercase is U+0187; lowercase is U+0188 (ƈ).

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0187. Use numeric forms.

Look-alikes

Not plain C or open O

U+0187 is C with hook. U+0043 is ordinary C. U+0186 is open O (reverse C). Do not swap them.

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase of U+0187 is U+0188 (ƈ), not a styled lowercase c.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0187 belongs in CSS. Ƈ / Ƈ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Check Latin Extended-B coverage

Some fonts omit U+0187. Prefer fonts that cover Latin Extended-B for reliable glyphs.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write Ƈ, not &#391.
