Definition

What Is Uppercase N Caron?

Uppercase N caron (Ň) is the Unicode character at U+0147 in Latin Extended-A. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER N WITH CARON — a capital N with a caron/háček (∨), used in Czech and Slovak.

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &Ncaron; (capital N) is the clearest HTML form for U+0147. Lowercase &ncaron; is a different character (ň).

2. Hex: U+0147 → Ň in HTML. Same glyph as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 327 → Ň. Same glyph as hex and named.

4. CSS: use \0147 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ň after the paragraph text.

5. Typed / word: paste Ň in UTF-8, or build Slovak words like DE&Ncaron; with lang="sk".

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+0147.

Case

&Ncaron; ≠ &ncaron;

&Ncaron; → Ň (capital). &ncaron; → ň (lowercase). Entity names are case-sensitive.

vs Ń

Not an acute

Ń (&Nacute;) is Polish Ń. Caron Ň and acute Ń are different letters.

vs Ñ

Not a tilde

Ñ (Ñ) is Spanish Ñ. Do not swap caron and tilde.

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

\0147 belongs in CSS strings. &Ncaron; / Ň / Ň belong in HTML.

A11y

Use real language context

When Ň appears in Czech or Slovak words, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
