What You'll Learn

How to display the uppercase G with acute accent (Ǵ) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. In Unicode this is U+01F4 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH ACUTE), used in linguistic content, phonetic notation, and transliteration systems. It sits in the Latin Extended-B block.

Render it with Ǵ, Ǵ, or CSS escape \01F4. There is no named HTML entity for this character (unlike the lowercase pair ǵ for ǵ), so numeric codes or CSS must be used.

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x01F4; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 01F4 to display the uppercase G acute. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#500; uses the decimal Unicode value 500 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B letters.

CSS Entity

\01F4 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: Ǵ. Unicode U+01F4 sits in Latin Extended-B. Do not confuse with plain G (U+0047) or Ğ (g breve). There is no named HTML entity for the uppercase form; use &gacute; only for the lowercase ǵ.

Use Cases

The uppercase G acute (Ǵ) is commonly used in:

🔤 Linguistics

Phonetic notation, linguistic papers, and academic writing with accented characters.

📝 Phonetic transcription

IPA and phonetic systems requiring precise representation of G with acute accent.

🇬🇦 Macedonian

Official transliteration systems pairing uppercase Ǵ with lowercase ǵ.

🇷🇸 Serbian

Serbian transliteration and linguistic content using the G acute character.

📚 Language learning

Dictionaries and courses showing correct spelling and transliteration.

📄 Academic publishing

Scholarly publications referencing Latin Extended-B diacritical marks.

🌐 Multilingual sites

Websites supporting languages and transliteration systems that use Ǵ.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#500; or &#x01F4; in HTML (no named entity exists for uppercase)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ǵ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F)
  • Use &gacute; for lowercase ǵ only—not for Ǵ
  • Pick one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists for Ǵ—only lowercase has &gacute;
  • Substitute plain G or Ğ (g breve) when Ǵ is required
  • Put CSS escape \01F4 in HTML text nodes
  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+001F4—the correct value is U+01F4
  • Use \001F4 in CSS—the correct escape is \01F4

Key Takeaways
