Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+0228 → &#x0228; in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 552 → &#552;. Same glyph as hex.

3. CSS: use \0228 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ȩ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / pair: paste Ȩ in UTF-8, or show the case pair with &#x0228; / &#x0229;.

5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+0228 — use numeric references or type the character. &Ccedil; is Ç, not this letter.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+0228.

vs Ç

Not C cedilla Ç

Ç (&Ccedil;) is C with a cedilla. Ȩ is E with a cedilla — do not reuse the C entity.

vs Ê

Not a circumflex

Ê (&Ecirc;) puts a hat above E. The cedilla hangs below the letter.

Named

No named HTML entity

There is no &Ecedil; for U+0228. Use &#x0228; or &#552;.

Fonts

Needs Latin Extended-B coverage

Some UI fonts omit rarer Latin Extended-B letters. Prefer a stack with good Latin coverage if the glyph must always show.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0228 belongs in CSS strings. &#x0228; / &#552; belong in HTML.

A11y

Use real language text

When this letter appears in real words, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
