Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+01E6 → &#x01E6; in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 486 → &#486;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \01E6 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Compare: plain G, caron Ǧ, and breve &Gbreve; are three different characters.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01E6. Use numeric forms.

Look-alikes

Caron ≠ breve

U+01E6 (Ǧ) has a caron. U+011E (Ğ / &Gbreve;) has a breve. Do not swap them.

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is U+01E7 (&#x01E7; / &#487;). There is no named entity for either case.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed form

Use U+01E6 rather than G + combining caron unless you have a specific normalization reason.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01E6 belongs in CSS. &#x01E6; / &#486; belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#486;, not &#486.
