Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+01CB → &#x01CB; in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 459 → &#459;. 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 &#x01CA; / &#x01CB; / &#x01CC; 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 &#x01CB; or &#459;.

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. &#x01CB; / &#459; 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.

Browser Support

Titlecase Nj (U+01CB) and its entity forms (&#x01CB;, &#459;, CSS \\01CB) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Latin Extended-B digraph glyphs depend on font coverage.

Key Takeaways

  • Unicode: titlecase Nj is U+01CB (decimal 459) — glyph Nj.
  • HTML: no named entity — use &#x01CB; / &#459; 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 → &#x01CB; / &#459; / CSS \01CB (no named entity).
