Uppercase Dz (DZ) is the Unicode character at U+01F1 in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DZ. It is a single precomposed digraph for capital D+Z — used where Dz is treated as one letter.
Remember
Character DZ
Unicode U+01F1
Hex entity DZ
Decimal DZ
CSS escape \01F1
Named entity (none)
Title case Dz (U+01F2)
Lowercase dz (U+01F3)
Prefer DZ or DZ in HTML markup. You can also type DZ in UTF-8. There is no named entity.
Using Hex Code: DZ
Using HTML Code: DZ
Using CSS Entity: DZ
Typed directly: DZ
Example: Digraph DZ as one letter
Case forms: DZ / Dz / dz
How It Works
1. Hex:U+01F1 → DZ in HTML. The browser turns it into DZ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 497 → DZ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \01F1 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that DZ after the paragraph text.
4. Casing: use Dz for title case and dz for lowercase — all are single digraph characters.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase Dz.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01F1. Use DZ or DZ.
DZ
Not two letters
Typing D then Z is two code points. DZ is one digraph character for casing and sorting as a unit.
Dz
Pick the right case
DZ = all caps, Dz = title case, dz = lowercase. Use the form that matches your text.
DŽ
Not Dz caron
DŽ (U+01C4) is Dz with caron. Plain Dz digraph is U+01F1.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01F1 belongs in CSS strings. DZ / DZ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Extended Latin coverage
Some UI fonts omit digraph ligatures. Prefer a font that covers Latin Extended-B for display.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Uppercase Dz (U+01F1) and its entity forms (DZ, DZ, CSS \\01F1) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Latin Extended-B font coverage.

Bottom line: Prefer DZ or DZ in HTML. Use \\01F1 only inside CSS content. There is no named entity.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: this digraph is U+01F1 (decimal 497) — glyph DZ.
HTML: use DZ or DZ — no named entity; typing DZ also works.
Use DZ (hex), DZ (decimal), type DZ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \01F1 in content. There is no named HTML entity for U+01F1.
U+01F1 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DZ). Hex 01F1, decimal 497. It belongs to Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F).
No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character. Use numeric forms DZ or DZ.
Use it when you need the precomposed capital Dz digraph as one character (for example in Croatian or Serbian casing contexts). Prefer title case U+01F2 or lowercase U+01F3 when those forms fit the text.
HTML entities (DZ or DZ) go in markup. The CSS escape \01F1 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. DZ is the precomposed capital Dz digraph (U+01F1). Typing D then Z is two characters. DŽ is Dz with caron (U+01C4) — a related but different digraph.
