Uppercase C Stroke (Ȼ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+023B (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH STROKE). There is no named HTML entity. Use hex or decimal codes for Saanich and other orthographies that need C with a stroke.
Remember

CSS escape \023B
Not the same C · ʗ (stretched) · Ç (Ç)
Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ȼ. Prefer Ȼ in HTML markup. For stretched C see uppercase C stretched; for C with cedilla see Ç.
Built with Hex: Ȼ
Built with Decimal: Ȼ
Built with CSS: Ȼ
Typed: Ȼ
Case pair: Ȼ / ȼ
How It Works
1. Hex:Ȼ inserts Unicode U+023B → Ȼ. Prefer this when there is no named entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 571 → Ȼ. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \023B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends Ȼ.
4. Typed: paste Ȼ in a UTF-8 document, or write Case pair: Ȼ / ȼ.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase C Stroke.
Named
No named entity
Do not invent names like &Cstroke;. Use Ȼ or Ȼ. Cedilla C is Ç.
Look-alikes
Ȼ ≠ C ≠ Ç ≠ ʗ
Stroke through C is Ȼ. Cedilla below is Ç. Stretched IPA C is ʗ. Match the mark your orthography needs.
A11y
Prefer precomposed
Use U+023B rather than faking a stroke on C. One code point is clearer for search and screen readers.
Fonts
Glyph coverage
Latin Extended-B coverage varies. Prefer fonts with linguistic support and test on mobile.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\023B belongs in CSS. Ȼ / Ȼ belong in HTML. Keep the leading zero in \023B.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Ȼ, not Ȼ.
