2. Named:Ģ is the readable HTML5 alias for the same code point.

Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this character.
Named
Prefer Ģ
The named entity is easier to read than numeric forms. Keep the trailing semicolon.
Look-alikes
Not plain G
U+0122 includes the cedilla. Do not replace it with U+0047 when spelling requires Ģ.
Case
No &gcedil;
Lowercase is U+0123. HTML5 defines Ģ for uppercase only — use ģ for lowercase.
Combining
Prefer the precomposed form
Use U+0122 rather than G + combining cedilla unless you have a specific normalization reason.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0122 belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Ģ, not &Gcedil.
