Uppercase Y stroke (Ɏ) is the Unicode character at U+024E (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER Y WITH STROKE) in Latin Extended-B. It is a capital Y with a horizontal stroke, used in Khmer ALA-LC romanization and linguistic notation.
Remember
Character Ɏ
Unicode U+024E
Hex entity Ɏ
Decimal Ɏ
CSS escape \024E
Named entity (none)
Not the same Y · Ȳ · ɏ
Prefer Ɏ or Ɏ in HTML markup. You can also type Ɏ in UTF-8. There is no named entity. For the lowercase pair, use U+024F (ɏ).
Using Hex Code: Ɏ
Using HTML Code: Ɏ
Using CSS Entity: Ɏ
Typed directly: Ɏ
Not Y (plain capital Y)
How It Works
1. Hex:U+024E → Ɏ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ɏ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 590 → Ɏ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \024E in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ɏ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / compare: paste Ɏ in UTF-8. Keep plain Y (U+0059) as a different letter.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+024E — use numeric references or type the character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+024E.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+024E. Use Ɏ or Ɏ.
vs Y
Not plain capital Y
Keyboard Y is U+0059. Use U+024E only when you need the stroked form.
Pair
Lowercase is U+024F
Small letter ɏ has no named entity either — use ɏ or ɏ.
vs Ȳ
Stroke ≠ macron
Ȳ (U+0232, &Ymacr;) has a bar above the letter. Ɏ has a stroke through the stem.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\024E belongs in CSS strings. Ɏ / Ɏ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Extended Latin coverage
Some UI fonts omit Latin Extended-B stroke letters. Prefer a font with solid U+0180–U+024F coverage.
Compatibility
