Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+015C → &#x015C; or &#348; in HTML.

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

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

4. Language sample: lang="eo" marks Esperanto context; words like Ŝati and Ŝipo use capital S with circumflex.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named

Prefer &Scirc;

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

Look-alikes

Not caron or cedilla

U+015C is circumflex (Ŝ). Do not confuse with caron Š (U+0160) or cedilla Ş (U+015E).

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is &scirc; (U+015D). Named entities are case-sensitive: &Scirc; ≠ &scirc;.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed form

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

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

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

Semicolon

End references

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