Hexadecimal Code

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#484; uses the decimal Unicode value 484 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#484; or &#x01E4; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ǥ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F)
  • Pair with lowercase ǥ (U+01E5) when showing Skolt Sami case forms
  • Pick one numeric style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for Ǥ
  • Substitute plain G when Ǥ is required in Skolt Sami text
  • Put CSS escape \01E4 in HTML text nodes
  • Use padded Unicode notation like U+001E4—the correct value is U+01E4
  • Use \001E4 in CSS—the correct escape is \01E4

Key Takeaways
