Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+015E → &#x015E; or &#350; in HTML.

2. Named: &Scedil; is the readable HTML5 alias for the same code point.

3. CSS: use \015E in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Language sample: lang="tr" marks Turkish context; words like Şehir and Şeker use capital S with cedilla.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named

Prefer &Scedil;

The named entity is easier to read than numeric forms. Keep the trailing semicolon.

Look-alikes

Not caron or comma-below

U+015E is cedilla (Ş). Do not confuse with caron Š (U+0160) or Romanian comma-below Ș (U+0218).

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is &scedil; (U+015F). Named entities are case-sensitive: &Scedil; ≠ &scedil;.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed form

Use U+015E rather than S + combining cedilla unless you have a specific normalization reason.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\015E belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &Scedil;, not &Scedil.
