What Is Uppercase Dz Caron?

</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+01C4 → Ǆ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ǆ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 452 → Ǆ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \01C4 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ǆ after the paragraph text.

4. Casing: use ǅ for title case and ǆ for lowercase — all are single digraph characters.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Uppercase Dz Caron.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01C4. Use Ǆ or Ǆ.

DŽ

Not two letters

Typing D then Ž is two code points. Ǆ is one digraph character for casing and sorting as a unit.

Pick the right case

Ǆ = all caps, ǅ = title case, ǆ = lowercase. Use the form that matches your text.

Not plain Dz

Ǳ (U+01F1) is Dz without caron. Dz caron is U+01C4.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01C4 belongs in CSS strings. Ǆ / Ǆ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Extended Latin coverage

Some UI fonts omit digraph ligatures. Prefer a font that covers Latin Extended-B for display.

Compatibility

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this digraph is U+01C4 (decimal 452) — glyph Ǆ.
HTML: use Ǆ or Ǆ — no named entity; typing Ǆ also works.
CSS: use \01C4 inside content for generated text.
Watch out: Ǆ ≠ DŽ (two letters); trio is Ǆ / ǅ / ǆ.

One line: U+01C4 → Ǆ / Ǆ / CSS \01C4.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I display Ǆ in HTML?

Use Ǆ (hex), Ǆ (decimal), type Ǆ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \01C4 in content. There is no named HTML entity for U+01C4.

What is the Unicode value for this letter?

U+01C4 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER DZ WITH CARON). Hex 01C4, decimal 452. It belongs to Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F).

Is there a named HTML entity for U+01C4?

No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character. Use numeric forms Ǆ or Ǆ.

When should I use U+01C4?

Use it when you need the precomposed capital Dž digraph as one character (for example in Croatian or Serbian all-caps text). Prefer title case U+01C5 or lowercase U+01C6 when those forms fit the text.

What is the difference between HTML code and CSS entity for U+01C4?

HTML entities (Ǆ or Ǆ) go in markup. The CSS escape \01C4 goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).

Is Ǆ the same as DŽ or Ǳ?

No. Ǆ is the precomposed Dz-with-caron digraph (U+01C4). Typing D then Ž is two characters. Ǳ is plain Dz without caron (U+01F1).
