🧠 How It Works

1

Named Entity

&Ncaron; is the standard named entity for Ň—readable in source HTML and part of the HTML5 entity set.

HTML markup
2

Hexadecimal Code

&#x147; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 147 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
3

Decimal HTML Code

&#327; uses the decimal Unicode value 327 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-A characters.

4

CSS Entity

\147 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

Same visual result

All four methods produce the glyph: Ň. Unicode U+0147 sits in Latin Extended-A. Lowercase pair: U+0148 (ň, &ncaron;). Prefer the precomposed character over N + combining caron (U+030C). Do not confuse with plain N or Ń (N with acute).

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &Ncaron; in HTML when possible for readability
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ň directly in UTF-8 source
  • Link to the lowercase pair ň (&ncaron;, U+0148)
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-A for caron-accented text
  • Distinguish Ň (caron) from plain N and Ń (acute)

Don’t

  • Substitute plain N when Ň is required for correct spelling
  • Confuse caron Ň with acute Ń or other accented N variants
  • Put CSS escape \147 in HTML text nodes
  • Use U+00147 or CSS \00147—the correct code is U+0147 and \147
  • Omit UTF-8 encoding on pages with extended Latin characters

Key Takeaways

1

Four references render Ň; named entity is most readable
