How It Works
1. Hex:U+01F2 → Dz in HTML. The browser turns it into Dz.
2. Decimal: same code point as 498 → Dz. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \01F2 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Dz after the paragraph text.
4. Title case: use Dz when only the first half of the digraph should be capital; use DZ / dz for all-caps / lowercase.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase Dz Small.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01F2. Use Dz or Dz.
Title
This is title case
Dz is capital D + small z. Do not use it for all-caps lines — that is DZ (U+01F1).
Dz
Not two letters
Typing D then z is two code points. Dz is one digraph character.
Dž
Not Dz caron title case
Dž (U+01C5) is title-case Dz with caron. Plain Dz title case is U+01F2.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01F2 belongs in CSS strings. Dz / Dz belong in HTML.
