Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+0162 → &#x0162; or &#354; in HTML.

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

3. CSS: use \0162 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Language sample: lang="ro" marks Romanian context; historical forms like Ţară and Staţie use T with cedilla.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named

Prefer &Tcedil;

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

Look-alikes

Not caron or comma-below

U+0162 is cedilla (Ţ). Do not confuse with caron Ť (U+0164) or modern Romanian comma-below Ț (U+021A).

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is &tcedil; (U+0163). Named entities are case-sensitive: &Tcedil; ≠ &tcedil;.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed form

Use U+0162 rather than T + combining cedilla unless you have a specific normalization reason.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0162 belongs in CSS. Named/numeric entities belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

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