🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x023B; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 023B to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#571; uses the decimal Unicode value 571 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

3

CSS Entity

\023B is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

CSS stylesheet
=

Same visual result

All three methods produce the glyph: Ȼ. Unicode U+023B sits in Latin Extended-B. Lowercase equivalent: U+023C (ȼ). Do not confuse Ȼ with plain C (U+0043) or ʗ (stretched C). There is no named HTML entity.

✅

Use Cases

The uppercase C stroke (Ȼ) is commonly used in:

🔤 Linguistics

Phonetic transcriptions and linguistic notation requiring the C-with-stroke character.

🌎 Saanich orthography

Coast Salish (Saanich) alphabet and indigenous language content that uses Ȼ in orthographic text.

🌐 Internationalization

Websites requiring correct rendering of Latin Extended-B for linguistic and specialized language content.

📄 Publishing

Books, articles, and editorial content with phonetic scripts or specialized terminology using Ȼ.

📖 Dictionaries

Online dictionaries and lexicographic content that include phonetic symbols such as Ȼ.

🔍 Search & SEO

Correct encoding so specialized linguistic content is indexed and displayed consistently.

🎓 Academic research

Linguistic research papers, academic publications, and scholarly content using Ȼ.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#571; or &#x023B; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ȼ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Pick one style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F)
  • Distinguish Ȼ from plain C (U+0043), ʗ (stretched C), and Ɔ (reversed C)

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for Ȼ
  • Substitute plain C when Ȼ is required for orthographic accuracy
  • Put CSS escape \023B in HTML text nodes
  • Assume all fonts render Latin Extended-B glyphs identically
  • Mix entity styles randomly in one file

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render Ȼ (no named entity)

2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
