How It Works
1. Hex / decimal:U+015A → Ś or Ś in HTML.
2. Named:Ś is the readable HTML5 alias for the same code point.
3. CSS: use \015A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.
4. Language sample:lang="pl" marks Polish context; words like Święty and Śląsk use capital S with acute.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this character.
Named
Prefer Ś
The named entity is easier to read than numeric forms. Keep the trailing semicolon.
Look-alikes
Not plain S or S caron
U+015A is acute (Ś). Do not confuse with plain S (U+0053) or caron Š (U+0160) — different letters.
Case
Use the correct case pair
Lowercase is ś (U+015B). Named entities are case-sensitive: Ś ≠ ś.
Combining
Prefer the precomposed form
Use U+015A rather than S + combining acute unless you have a specific normalization reason.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\015A belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Ś, not &Sacute.
