This character is U+0248 in the Latin Extended-B block—the capital letter J with a horizontal stroke through the middle. It is the uppercase pair of ɉ and appears in phonetic and linguistic notation, and in some orthographies and transliteration systems.

Render it with Ɉ, Ɉ, or CSS escape \248. There is no named HTML entity for this character, so numeric codes or CSS must be used.

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x248; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 248 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#584; uses the decimal Unicode value 584 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

HTML markup
3

CSS Entity

\248 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

CSS stylesheet
=

Same visual result

All three methods produce the glyph: Ɉ. Unicode U+0248 sits in Latin Extended-B. Do not confuse with plain J (U+004A), lowercase pair ɉ (U+0249), or Ĵ (J circumflex).

✅

Use Cases

The uppercase J with middle stroke (Ɉ) is commonly used in:

📜 Phonetic transcription

Capitalized phonetic notation where the stroke distinguishes Ɉ from plain J.

🔤 Linguistics

Academic papers, textbooks, and resources on phonetics and phonology.

📖 Dictionaries

Pronunciation guides and reference works using extended Latin characters.

🌐 Language learning

Educational apps and content teaching phonetic symbols and extended letters.

🎨 Typography

Font design and typographic work that includes the capital J with stroke.

♿ Accessibility

Correct Unicode ensures screen readers handle Ɉ properly in phonetic content.

⚙ Programmatic HTML

When generating linguistic markup, using &#584; or &#x248; ensures correct output.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use U+0248 (Ɉ) when the stroked capital J is required; use U+004A for plain J
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ɉ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Link to the lowercase pair ɉ (U+0249) when documenting case forms
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B and phonetic notation
  • Pick one entity style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency

Don’t

  • Substitute plain J when Ɉ is required for correct phonetic notation
  • Confuse Ɉ (J with stroke) with ɉ (lowercase) or Ĵ (J circumflex)
  • Expect a named HTML entity—none exists for this character
  • Use U+00248 or CSS \00248—the correct code is U+0248 and \248
  • Put CSS escape \248 in HTML text nodes

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render Ɉ; no named entity exists

2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
