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).
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 Ŋ 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. Ŋ / Ŋ / Ŋ 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.

Key Takeaways
Unicode: uppercase eng is U+014A (decimal 330) — glyph Ŋ.
HTML: prefer Ŋ (all capitals) — also Ŋ / Ŋ.
CSS: use \014A inside content for generated text.
Meaning:Ŋ is capital eng — not ŋ (ŋ), not the digraph NG.
Use Ŋ (named), Ŋ (hex), Ŋ (decimal), type Ŋ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \014A in content. Prefer Ŋ 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 Ŋ (all capitals). Numeric forms Ŋ and Ŋ also work. Note: ŋ (lowercase) is a different letter (ŋ).
No. Ŋ is a single capital letter (U+014A). ŋ is U+014B (ŋ). 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 (Ŋ, Ŋ, or Ŋ) go in markup. The CSS escape \014A goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
