Not the same Z · ʒ (lowercase) · Ǯ
Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ʒ. Prefer Ʒ in HTML markup. For the lowercase IPA form see ezh small (U+0292); for ezh with caron see uppercase ezh caron.
Built with Hex: Ʒ
Built with Decimal: Ʒ
Built with CSS: Ʒ
Typed: Ʒ
Case pair: Ʒ / ʒ
How It Works
1. Hex:Ʒ inserts Unicode U+01B7 → Ʒ. Prefer this when there is no named entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 439 → Ʒ. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \01B7 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends Ʒ.
4. Typed: paste Ʒ in a UTF-8 document, or write Case pair: Ʒ / ʒ.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase Ezh.
Named
No named entity
Do not invent names like &Ezh;. Use Ʒ or Ʒ only.
Look-alikes
Ʒ ≠ Z ≠ ʒ ≠ Ǯ
Capital ezh is Ʒ. Plain Latin is Z. Lowercase IPA ezh is U+0292. Ezh with caron is U+01EE. Match the orthography you need.
A11y
Prefer precomposed
Use U+01B7 rather than inventing a look-alike from Z or 3. One code point is clearer for search and screen readers.
Fonts
Glyph coverage
Latin Extended-B coverage varies. Prefer fonts with linguistic / IPA support and test on mobile.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01B7 belongs in CSS. Ʒ / Ʒ belong in HTML. Prefer the four-digit form \01B7 over ambiguous short escapes.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Ʒ, not Ʒ.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use Ʒ (hex), Ʒ (decimal), or the CSS escape \01B7 in the content property. All render Ʒ. Prefer Ʒ for readable markup. There is no named HTML entity.
U+01B7 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER EZH). Hex 01B7, decimal 439. It belongs to Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F). There is no named HTML entity.
No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01B7. Use Ʒ or Ʒ instead. Plain Z is typed directly (U+005A).
U+01B7 is capital ezh. U+0292 is lowercase ezh (the usual IPA glyph). U+01EE is capital ezh with caron — a different character.
Use it for linguistic orthographies, phonetic documentation, and extended Latin text that needs capital ezh — not as a substitute for plain Z or the digit 3.
HTML entities (Ʒ or Ʒ) go in markup. The CSS escape \01B7 is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render Ʒ.
