What You'll Learn

How to display the title-case Dz ligature (Dz) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. Formally LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH SMALL LETTER Z, this digraph represents Dz (capital D with small z) as a single character—the middle form in the plain Dz trio used in Croatian, Serbian, and other languages.

Render it with Dz, Dz, or CSS escape \01F2. There is no named HTML entity for this character, so numeric codes or CSS must be used.

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x01F2; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 01F2 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#498; uses the decimal Unicode value 498 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

3

CSS Entity

\01F2 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

Same visual result

All three methods produce the glyph: Dz. Unicode U+01F2 sits in Latin Extended-B. Related forms: U+01F1 (DZ all caps) and U+01F3 (dz lowercase). Do not confuse Dz with Dž (Dz with caron) or separate D+z. There is no named HTML entity.

Use Cases

The title-case Dz ligature (Dz) is commonly used in:

🇭🇷 Croatian

Word-initial and mixed-case Croatian text where Dz appears as a single title-case ligature.

🇷🇺 Serbian

Serbian Latin-script content using Dz at sentence or word boundaries in proper orthography.

🔤 Linguistic documentation

Phonetic transcriptions, language research, and linguistic atlases documenting the plain Dz trio.

🎨 Typography

Font design, character set documentation, and typographic projects with extended Latin ligatures.

📄 Academic publishing

Scholarly papers, dictionaries, and academic publications on Slavic and Balkan languages.

🌐 Multilingual sites

International websites and localization projects supporting Croatian and Serbian content.

📖 Character references

Unicode guides, encoding documentation, and technical references for special ligatures.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#498; or &#x01F2; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Dz directly in UTF-8 source
  • Pick the correct trio form: DZ (all caps), Dz (title case), dz (lowercase)
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F)
  • Distinguish plain Dz (DZ/Dz/dz) from Dz caron (DŽ/Dž/dž)

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for Dz
  • Use DZ when Dz (title case) is orthographically required
  • Substitute plain Dz as two characters when the ligature is needed
  • Confuse Dz with Dž (Dz with caron) or dz (all lowercase)
  • Put CSS escape \01F2 in HTML text nodes
  • Mix entity styles randomly in one file

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render Dz (no named entity)

&#x01F2; &#498;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Use &#x01F2; (hex), &#498; (decimal), or \01F2 in CSS content. There is no named HTML entity; use numeric codes or CSS.
U+01F2 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH SMALL LETTER Z). Latin Extended-B block. Hex 01F2, decimal 498. Middle form in the plain Dz trio used in Croatian and Serbian.
When writing Croatian, Serbian, or other language content at word boundaries or in mixed-case text, linguistic documentation, typographic design, academic papers, and any text requiring the Dz title-case ligature.
U+01F1 (DZ) is all-uppercase DZ, U+01F2 (Dz) is title-case Dz, and U+01F3 (dz) is all-lowercase dz. Unicode provides three ligature forms for the same digraph depending on casing context.
Named HTML entities are mainly for ASCII, Latin-1, and common symbols. Latin Extended-B characters like Dz use numeric codes (hex or decimal) because they belong to specialized Unicode blocks. This is standard for extended Latin characters.
