💡 Best Practices

Do

Use ǋ for titlecase Nj at word starts; use Ǌ for all-caps and ǌ for lowercase
Use numeric references (ǋ or ǋ) in HTML for portability
Use \01CB in CSS content when inserting via pseudo-elements
Ensure your font supports Latin Extended-B for consistent rendering
Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ǋ directly in UTF-8 source

Don’t

Substitute separate N + j when the ligature character is required
Use padded Unicode like U+001CB—the correct value is U+01CB
Use \001CB in CSS—the correct escape is \01CB
Confuse titlecase ǋ with uppercase Ǌ or lowercase ǌ
Put the CSS escape \01CB directly in HTML text nodes
