🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#403; uses the decimal Unicode value 403 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#403; or &#x0193; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ɠ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F)
  • Distinguish Ɠ (g hook) from plain G (U+0047) and IPA ɠ (U+0260)
  • Pick one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for Ɠ
  • Substitute plain G or IPA ɠ when Ɠ is required
  • Put CSS escape \0193 in HTML text nodes
  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+00193—the correct value is U+0193
  • Use \00193 in CSS—the correct escape is \0193

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render Ɠ (no named entity)

&#x0193; &#403;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
