Prefer Nj or Nj in HTML markup. You can also type Nj in UTF-8. All-caps is NJ (U+01CA); lowercase is nj (U+01CC). HTML5 has no named entity for these forms.
Using Hex Code: Nj
Using HTML Code: Nj
Using CSS Entity: Nj
Typed directly: Nj
Family: NJ / Nj / nj
How It Works
1. Hex:U+01CB → Nj in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 459 → Nj. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \01CB (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+01CB — use numeric references or type the character. Separate N + j are not the same code point.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+01CB.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no named entity for U+01CB. 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 all-caps
NJ is all-caps NJ. Nj is titlecase 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
\01CB belongs in CSS strings. Nj / Nj belong in HTML.

Use real language context
When Nj appears in Croatian or related text, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.

Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: titlecase Nj is U+01CB (decimal 459) — glyph Nj.
HTML: no named entity — use Nj / Nj or type the character.
CSS: use \01CB (four hex digits) inside content.
Meaning:Nj is titlecase digraph — not NJ (caps), not nj (lower), not separate Nj.
One line:U+01CB → Nj / Nj / CSS \01CB (no named entity).
