🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x01B8; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 01B8 to display the uppercase ezh reverse. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#440; uses the decimal Unicode value 440 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

CSS Entity

\1B8 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

Same visual result

All three methods produce the glyph: Ƹ. Unicode U+01B8 sits in Latin Extended-B. Lowercase counterpart: U+01B9 (ƹ). There is no named HTML entity. Do not confuse with ezh Ʒ (U+01B7) or plain Z (U+005A).

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#440; or &#x01B8; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ƹ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F)
  • Distinguish Ƹ (ezh reverse) from Ʒ (ezh) and plain Z (U+005A)
  • Pick one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for Ƹ
  • Substitute plain ezh Ʒ or Z when Ƹ is required in notation
  • Put CSS escape \1B8 in HTML text nodes
  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+001B8—the correct value is U+01B8
  • Use \001B8 in CSS—the correct escape is \1B8

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render Ƹ (no named entity)
