Uppercase G Stroke (Ǥ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+01E4 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH STROKE). There is no named HTML entity. Use hex or decimal codes for Skolt Sami orthography and linguistic text.

Not the same G · ǥ (lowercase) · Ǧ
Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ǥ. Prefer Ǥ in HTML markup. For plain capital G see uppercase G; for the lowercase pair see lowercase G stroke (U+01E5).
Built with Hex: Ǥ
Built with Decimal: Ǥ
Built with CSS: Ǥ
Typed: Ǥ
Case pair: Ǥ / ǥ
How It Works
1. Hex:Ǥ inserts Unicode U+01E4 → Ǥ. Prefer this when there is no named entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 484 → Ǥ. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \01E4 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends Ǥ.
4. Typed: paste Ǥ in a UTF-8 document, or write Case pair: Ǥ / ǥ.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase G Stroke.
Named
No named entity
Do not invent names like &Gstroke;. Use Ǥ or Ǥ only.
Look-alikes
Ǥ ≠ G ≠ Ǧ
G with stroke is Ǥ. Plain Latin is G. G with caron is U+01E6. Match the orthography you need.
A11y
Prefer precomposed
Use U+01E4 rather than inventing a look-alike from G plus a stroke overlay. One code point is clearer for search and screen readers.
Fonts
Glyph coverage
Latin Extended-B coverage varies. Prefer fonts with linguistic / Uralic-script support and test on mobile.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01E4 belongs in CSS. Ǥ / Ǥ belong in HTML. Keep the leading zeros in \01E4.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Ǥ, not Ǥ.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use Ǥ (hex), Ǥ (decimal), or the CSS escape \01E4 in the content property. All render Ǥ. Prefer Ǥ for readable markup. There is no named HTML entity.
U+01E4 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH STROKE). Hex 01E4, decimal 484. It belongs to Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F). There is no named HTML entity.
No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01E4. Use Ǥ or Ǥ instead. Plain G is typed directly (U+0047).
U+01E4 is capital G with a stroke through the letter. U+0047 is plain capital G. U+01E5 is the lowercase g with stroke (case pair).
Use it for Skolt Sami orthography and linguistic text that needs capital G with stroke — not as a substitute for plain G.
HTML entities (Ǥ or Ǥ) go in markup. The CSS escape \01E4 is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render Ǥ.
