Not the same ń · Ñ · Ň
Prefer Ń in HTML markup — the capital N in the name matters. Numeric forms and typing Ń in UTF-8 also work. For the lowercase letter, use ń (ń).

How It Works
1. Named:Ń (capital N) is the clearest HTML form for U+0143. Lowercase ń is a different character (ń).
2. Hex:U+0143 → Ń in HTML. Same glyph as the named entity.
3. Decimal: same code point as 323 → Ń. Same glyph as hex and named.
4. CSS: use \0143 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ń after the paragraph text.
5. Typed / word: paste Ń in UTF-8, or build Polish words like KOŃ with lang="pl".
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+0143.
Case
Ń ≠ ń
Ń → Ń (capital). ń → ń (lowercase). Entity names are case-sensitive.
vs Ñ
Not a tilde
Ñ (Ñ) is Spanish Ñ. Acute Ń and tilde Ñ are different letters.
vs Ň
Not a caron
Ň (Ň) has a háček. Do not use Ń when Czech/Slovak needs Ň.
Encoding
Keep UTF-8 declared
Latin Extended-A letters display reliably with <meta charset="UTF-8">. Prefer named entities when the source file encoding is uncertain.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0143 belongs in CSS strings. Ń / Ń / Ń belong in HTML.
A11y
Use real language context
When Ń appears in Polish words, keep surrounding text and lang="pl" accurate so screen readers get useful context.
