Definition

What Is Uppercase LJ?

Uppercase LJ (Ǉ) is the Unicode character at U+01C7 in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER LJ. It is a single precomposed digraph for capital L+J — used in Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian Latin text where Lj is one letter.

Remember

Character     Ǉ
Unicode       U+01C7

CSS escape    \01C7
Named entity  (none)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase LJ (Ǉ) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\01C7";
    }
  </style>
</head>

  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x01C7;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#455;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>

  <p lang="hr">Digraph Ǉ as one letter</p>
  <p>Case forms: Ǉ / ǈ / ǉ</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+01C7 → Ǉ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ǉ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 455 → Ǉ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \01C7 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ǉ after the paragraph text.

4. Casing: use ǈ for title case and ǉ for lowercase — all are single digraph characters.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with uppercase LJ.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01C7. Use Ǉ or Ǉ.

Not two letters

Typing L then J is two code points. Ǉ is one digraph character for casing and sorting as a unit.

Pick the right case

Ǉ = all caps, ǈ = title case, ǉ = lowercase. Use the form that matches your text.

Compat

Compatibility digraph

Many sites still write LJ / Lj / lj as two letters. Prefer the precomposed form when you need one Unicode character.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01C7 belongs in CSS strings. Ǉ / Ǉ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Extended Latin coverage

Some UI fonts omit digraph ligatures. Prefer a font that covers Latin Extended-B for display.

A11y

Use real language context

When LJ appears in Croatian or Serbian text, keep surrounding words and lang accurate (for example lang="hr").

Compatibility

Browser Support

Uppercase LJ (U+01C7) and its entity forms (Ǉ, Ǉ, CSS \\01C7) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Latin Extended-B font coverage.

Bottom line: Prefer Ǉ or Ǉ in HTML. Use \\01C7 only inside CSS content. There is no named entity. Trio: Ǉ / ǈ / ǉ.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this digraph is U+01C7 (decimal 455) — glyph Ǉ.
HTML: use Ǉ or Ǉ — no named entity; typing Ǉ also works.
CSS: use \01C7 inside content for generated text.
Watch out: Ǉ ≠ LJ (two letters); trio is Ǉ / ǈ / ǉ.

One line: U+01C7 → Ǉ / Ǉ / CSS \01C7.

Frequently Asked Questions
