What Is Uppercase H Circumflex?

Uppercase H Circumflex (Ĥ) is the Latin Extended-A character at Unicode U+0124 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER H WITH CIRCUMFLEX). HTML5 names it Ĥ. Use it for Esperanto and other Latin-script text that needs Ĥ.

Remember
Character     Ĥ
Unicode       U+0124
Named entity  Ĥ
Hex entity    Ĥ
Decimal       Ĥ
CSS escape    \0124
Not the same  ĥ (ĥ) · H · Ȟ

Named, hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ĥ. Prefer Ĥ or Ĥ in HTML markup. For the lowercase form see ĥ; for H with caron see uppercase H caron.

Five ways to display Ĥ in HTML and CSS.

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase H Circumflex (Ĥ)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\0124";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Named: &Hcirc;</p>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x0124;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#292;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: Ĥ</p>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &Hcirc; is the HTML5 name for U+0124 → Ĥ (case-sensitive: capital H).

2. Hex / decimal: &#x0124; or &#292; insert the same code point.

3. Typed: in a UTF-8 document you can paste Ĥ directly — same glyph, no entity.

4. CSS: use \0124 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ĥ after the paragraph text.

5. Esperanto: lang="eo" marks the language; &Hcirc;oro spells Ĥoro (choir).

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Uppercase H Circumflex.

Case

Named entity is case-sensitive

&Hcirc; is capital H. &hcirc; is the lowercase letter ĥ, not a synonym.

Plain H

Not the same as plain H

Plain H (U+0048) has no circumflex. Do not substitute it when Ĥ is required for correct spelling.

Caron

Not H with caron

U+021E (Ȟ) uses a caron (háček), not a circumflex. See uppercase H caron.

Prefer named

Prefer &Hcirc; in HTML

The named form is easier to read in source than numeric codes. Use hex/decimal when you need numeric-only markup.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0124 belongs in CSS strings. &Hcirc; / &#x0124; / &#292; belong in HTML.

Fonts

Need Latin Extended-A coverage

Some fonts omit U+0124. Prefer fonts that cover Latin Extended-A (U+0100–U+017F).

Browser Support

Uppercase H Circumflex (U+0124) and its entity forms (&Hcirc;, &#x0124;, &#292;, CSS \\0124) are supported in all mainstream browsers when the page is UTF-8 and the font covers Latin Extended-A.

✓ Universal support

Bottom line: Prefer &Hcirc; in HTML text. Use &#x0124; / &#292; as equivalents, and \\0124 only inside CSS content.

Key Takeaways

  • Unicode: this letter is U+0124 (decimal 292) — glyph Ĥ.
  • HTML: prefer &Hcirc;, or use &#x0124; / &#292;.
  • CSS: use \0124 inside content for generated text.
  • Watch out: Ĥ ≠ plain H ≠ H caron Ȟ · &Hcirc; ≠ &hcirc;.

One line: U+0124 → &Hcirc; / &#x0124; / &#292; / CSS \0124.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use &Hcirc; (named), &#x0124; (hex), &#292; (decimal), or the CSS escape \0124 in the content property. All render Ĥ. Prefer &Hcirc; or &#x0124; for readable markup.
