How It Works
1. Hex / decimal:U+012E → Į or Į in HTML.
2. Named:Į is the readable HTML5 alias for the same code point.
3. CSS: use \012E in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.
4. Language sample:lang="lt" marks Lithuanian context for assistive tech and hyphenation.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this character.
Named
Prefer Į
The named entity is easier to read than numeric forms. Keep the trailing semicolon.
Look-alikes
Not plain I
U+012E includes the ogonek. Do not replace it with U+0049 when spelling requires Į.
Case
Use the correct case pair
Lowercase is į (U+012F). Named entities are case-sensitive: Į ≠ į.
Combining
Prefer the precomposed form
Use U+012E rather than I + combining ogonek unless you have a specific normalization reason.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\012E belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Į, not &Iogon.
