How It Works
1. Hex:U+01CA → NJ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 458 → NJ. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \01CA (four hex digits) in content. Shorter forms can be misread by the CSS parser. #point::after appends that NJ.
4. Typed / family: paste NJ in UTF-8, or show caps / title / lower with NJ / Nj / nj and lang="hr".
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+01CA — use numeric references or type the character. Separate N + J are not the same code point.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+01CA.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no named entity for U+01CA. Use NJ or NJ.
vs NJ
Not two letters
Typing N then J creates two code points. NJ is one digraph character — sorting and searching can differ.
vs Nj
Not titlecase
Nj is titlecase Nj (capital N + small j). NJ is all-caps NJ. Use the form that matches your casing.
Encoding
Keep UTF-8 declared
Latin Extended-B digraphs display reliably with <meta charset="UTF-8">. Prefer numeric entities when the source file encoding is uncertain.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01CA belongs in CSS strings. NJ / NJ belong in HTML.
A11y
Use real language context
When NJ appears in Croatian or related text, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
