<!DOCTYPE html>

    #point::after {
      content: "\011C";

</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+011C → Ĝ or Ĝ in HTML.

2. Named: &Gcirc; is the readable HTML5 alias for the same code point.

3. CSS: use \011C in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Language sample: lang="eo" marks Esperanto context for assistive tech and hyphenation.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named

Prefer `&Gcirc;`

The named entity is easier to read than numeric forms. Keep the trailing semicolon.

Look-alikes

Not plain G

U+011C includes the circumflex. Do not replace it with U+0047 when spelling requires Ĝ.

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is &gcirc; (U+011D). Case is case-sensitive in named entities: &Gcirc; ≠ &gcirc;.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed form

Use U+011C rather than G + combining circumflex unless you have a specific normalization reason.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\011C belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &Gcirc;, not &Gcirc.
