🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x0262; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 0262 to display the uppercase g latin. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#610; uses the decimal Unicode value 610 to display the same character. A common method for IPA Extensions characters.

3

CSS Entity

\0262 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: ɢ. Unicode U+0262 sits in IPA Extensions. There is no named HTML entity. Do not confuse with plain G (U+0047) or g (U+0067).

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#610; or &#x0262; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ɢ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use fonts that support IPA Extensions (U+0250–U+02AF), e.g. Doulos SIL or Charis SIL
  • Distinguish ɢ (IPA small capital G) from plain G (U+0047) and g (U+0067)
  • Pick one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for ɢ
  • Substitute plain G or g when ɢ is required in IPA text
  • Put CSS escape \0262 in HTML text nodes
  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+00262—the correct value is U+0262
  • Use \00262 in CSS—the correct escape is \0262

Key Takeaways
