🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x01E6; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 01E6 to display the uppercase G caron. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#486; uses the decimal Unicode value 486 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B letters.

CSS Entity

\01E6 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: Ǧ. Unicode U+01E6 sits in Latin Extended-B. Do not confuse with Ğ (g breve, Turkish) or plain G (U+0047). Lowercase pair: U+01E7 (ǧ). There is no named HTML entity.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#486; or &#x01E6; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ǧ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F)
  • Distinguish Ǧ (caron) from Ğ (breve, Turkish) and plain G
  • Pick one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Confuse Ǧ (g caron) with Ğ (g breve)—different characters and languages
  • Substitute plain G or &Gbreve; when Ǧ is required
  • Put CSS escape \01E6 in HTML text nodes
  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+001E6—the correct value is U+01E6
  • Use \001E6 in CSS—the correct escape is \01E6
