Definition

What Is Uppercase Lj Small?

Uppercase Lj small (ǈ) is the Unicode character at U+01C8 in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J. It is the title-case form of the Lj digraph — capital L with small j as one letter.

Remember

Character     ǈ
Unicode       U+01C8
Hex entity    &#x01C8;
Decimal       &#456;
CSS escape    \01C8
Named entity  (none)
All caps      Ǉ (U+01C7)
Lowercase     ǉ (U+01C9)

Prefer ǈ or ǈ in HTML markup. You can also type ǈ in UTF-8. There is no named entity. Use this form for sentence starts and title case.

One table for every form you will actually use.

Form	Code	Where it goes
Direct character	`ǈ`	HTML text (UTF-8)

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Titlecase Lj (ǈ) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\01C8";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x01C8;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#456;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: ǈ</p>
  <p lang="hr">Name: ǈubavić</p>
  <p>Case forms: Ǉ / ǈ / ǉ</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+01C8 → ǈ in HTML. The browser turns it into ǈ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 456 → ǈ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \01C8 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ǈ after the paragraph text.

4. Casing: use Ǉ for all caps and ǉ for lowercase — all are single digraph characters.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with title-case Lj.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01C8. 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.

Case

Pick the right case

Ǉ = all caps, ǈ = title case, ǉ = lowercase. Use title case for sentence starts.

URL

“Small” means title case

The slug says “lj-small,” but Unicode names this capital L with small j — the title-case digraph, not lowercase ǉ.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01C8 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 names, keep surrounding text and lang accurate (for example lang="hr").

Compatibility

Browser Support

Title-case Lj (U+01C8) and its entity forms (ǈ, ǈ, CSS \\01C8) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Latin Extended-B font coverage.

Bottom line: Prefer ǈ or ǈ in HTML. Use \\01C8 only inside CSS content. There is no named entity. Trio: Ǉ / ǈ / ǉ.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this digraph is U+01C8 (decimal 456) — glyph ǈ.
HTML: use ǈ or ǈ — no named entity; typing ǈ also works.
CSS: use \01C8 inside content for generated text.
Watch out: ǈ is title case — not Ǉ (caps), not ǉ (lower), not two letters Lj.

One line: U+01C8 → ǈ / ǈ / CSS \01C8.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I display ǈ in HTML?

Use ǈ (hex), ǈ (decimal), type ǈ directly in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \01C8 in content. There is no named HTML entity for U+01C8.

What is the Unicode value for this letter?

U+01C8 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER L WITH SMALL LETTER J). Hex 01C8, decimal 456. It belongs to Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F).

Is there a named HTML entity for U+01C8?

No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character. Use numeric forms ǈ or ǈ.

Is ǈ the same as Ǉ or Lj?

No. ǈ is title-case Lj as one digraph (U+01C8). Ǉ is all-caps (U+01C7). Typing L then j is two characters.

When should I use U+01C8?
