What Is Uppercase Eng?

Uppercase eng (Ŋ) is the Unicode character at U+014A in Latin Extended-A. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ENG — a capital form of the eng letter used for the velar nasal in Sami, Greenlandic, and related orthographies.

Remember
Character     Ŋ
Unicode       U+014A
Named entity  Ŋ  (all capitals)
Hex entity    Ŋ
Decimal       Ŋ
CSS escape    \014A
Not the same  ŋ · ng · N

Prefer Ŋ in HTML markup — the entity name is all capitals. Numeric forms and typing Ŋ in UTF-8 also work. For the lowercase letter, use ŋ (ŋ).

How It Works

1. Named: &ENG; (all capitals) is the clearest HTML form for U+014A. Lowercase &eng; is a different character (ŋ).

2. Hex: U+014A → &#x014A; in HTML. Same glyph as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 330 → &#330;. Same glyph as hex and named.

4. CSS: use \014A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ŋ after the paragraph text.

5. Typed / pair: paste Ŋ in UTF-8, or show both cases with &ENG; / &eng;.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+014A.

Case

&ENG; ≠ &eng;

&ENG; → Ŋ (capital). &eng; → ŋ (lowercase). Entity names are case-sensitive.

vs ng

Not the digraph ng

Eng is one letter. Typing NG is two characters and may not match the orthography or IPA symbol.

vs N

Not a plain capital N

ASCII N (U+004E) has no descending eng leg. Use &ENG; when the language requires eng.

Fonts

Extended Latin coverage

Most modern fonts include eng. Prefer UTF-8 and a font that covers Latin Extended-A if glyphs look missing.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\014A belongs in CSS strings. &ENG; / &#x014A; / &#330; belong in HTML.

Mark the language

When Ŋ appears in real words, set lang on the element or page so screen readers pronounce the text correctly.

Browser Support

Uppercase eng (U+014A) and its entity forms (&ENG;, &#x014A;, &#330;, CSS \\014A) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Latin Extended-A font coverage.

✓ Universal support

Uppercase Eng (&#x014A;)

Encode with named, hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

Bottom line: Prefer &ENG; (all capitals) in HTML. Use \\014A only inside CSS content. Do not confuse with &eng; (ŋ).

Key Takeaways

  • Unicode: uppercase eng is U+014A (decimal 330) — glyph Ŋ.
  • HTML: prefer &ENG; (all capitals) — also &#x014A; / &#330;.
  • CSS: use \014A inside content for generated text.
  • Meaning: Ŋ is capital eng — not ŋ (&eng;), not the digraph NG.

One line: U+014A → &ENG; / &#x014A; / &#330; / CSS \014A.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use &ENG; (named), &#x014A; (hex), &#330; (decimal), type Ŋ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \014A in content. Prefer &ENG; in normal HTML.
U+014A (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ENG). Hex 014A, decimal 330. It belongs to Latin Extended-A (U+0100–U+017F).
Yes. Use &ENG; (all capitals). Numeric forms &#330; and &#x014A; also work. Note: &eng; (lowercase) is a different letter (ŋ).
No. Ŋ is a single capital letter (U+014A). ŋ is U+014B (&eng;). Writing n + g is two characters, not the eng letter.
Use it for Sami, Greenlandic, and other orthographies that need capital eng in titles and uppercase text — or when casing lowercase eng — not as a substitute for the digraph NG.
HTML entities (&ENG;, &#330;, or &#x014A;) go in markup. The CSS escape \014A goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
