How It Works
1. Hex:U+01C5 → Dž in HTML. The browser turns it into Dž.
2. Decimal: same code point as 453 → Dž. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \01C5 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Dž after the paragraph text.
4. Title case: use Dž when only the first half of the digraph should be capital; use DŽ / dž for all-caps / lowercase.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase Dz Caron Small.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01C5. Use Dž or Dž.
Title
This is title case
Dž is capital D + small ž. Do not use it for all-caps lines — that is DŽ (U+01C4).
Dž
Not two letters
Typing D then ž is two code points. Dž is one digraph character.
Dz
Not plain Dz title case
Dz (U+01F2) is title-case Dz without caron. Dz caron title case is U+01C5.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01C5 belongs in CSS strings. Dž / Dž belong in HTML.
Fonts

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