Five ways to display Ĵ in HTML and CSS.

    #point::after {
      content: "\0134";

How It Works

1. Named: &Jcirc; is the HTML5 name for U+0134 → Ĵ (case-sensitive: capital J).

2. Hex / decimal: &#x0134; or &#308; insert the same code point.

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

4. CSS: use \0134 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ĵ after the paragraph text.

5. Esperanto: lang="eo" marks the language; &Jcirc;urno spells Ĵurno (day).

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Uppercase J Circumflex.

Case

Named entity is case-sensitive

&Jcirc; is capital J. &jcirc; is the lowercase letter ĵ, not a synonym.

Plain J

Not the same as plain J

Plain J (U+004A) has no circumflex. Do not substitute it when Ĵ is required for correct Esperanto spelling.

Prefer named

Prefer &Jcirc; 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

\0134 belongs in CSS strings. &Jcirc; / &#x0134; / &#308; belong in HTML.

Fonts

Need Latin Extended-A coverage

Some fonts omit U+0134. Prefer fonts that cover Latin Extended-A (U+0100–U+017F).

Pair

Case is significant

Ĵ (U+0134) and ĵ (U+0135, &jcirc;) are different characters. Use the case your content requires.

Browser Support

Uppercase J Circumflex (U+0134) and its entity forms (&Jcirc;, &#x0134;, &#308;, CSS \\0134) are supported in all mainstream browsers when the page is UTF-8 and the font covers Latin Extended-A.

Key Takeaways

  • Unicode: this letter is U+0134 (decimal 308) — glyph Ĵ.
  • HTML: prefer &Jcirc;, or use &#x0134; / &#308;.
  • CSS: use \0134 inside content for generated text.
  • Watch out: Ĵ ≠ plain J · &Jcirc; ≠ &jcirc;.

One line: U+0134 → &Jcirc; / &#x0134; / &#308; / CSS \0134.

Frequently Asked Questions
