Unicode U+01F4
Hex entity Ǵ
Decimal Ǵ
CSS escape \01F4
Named entity (none)
Official name LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH ACUTE

Using CSS Entity: Ǵ

Compare: G Ǵ ǵ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+01F4 → Ǵ in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.
2. Decimal: same code point as 500 → Ǵ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \01F4 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.
4. Compare: plain G, uppercase Ǵ, and lowercase ǵ are three different characters. There is no &Gacute; for the capital form.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this character.
Named?
No &Gacute;
HTML5 defines ǵ for lowercase only. For uppercase, use Ǵ or Ǵ.
Look-alikes
Not plain G
U+01F4 includes the acute. Do not replace it with U+0047 when the accent is required.
Case
Use the correct case pair
Lowercase is ǵ (U+01F5). Do not invent &Gacute; — it is not defined.
Combining
Prefer the precomposed form
Use U+01F4 rather than G + combining acute unless you have a specific normalization reason.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01F4 belongs in CSS. Ǵ / Ǵ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Ǵ, not Ǵ.
