Published June 6, 2026, 2 min read

Need ĩ on HTML for a name, an address or a word in another language? You do not have to copy it from a website every time. The fastest method is ĩ, and there are a few backups below for when that one is not available.

ĩ on HTML: ĩ

Ĩ on HTML: Ĩ

Or copy it:

Method 1: Codes for web pages

Format	Code for ĩ
Decimal entity	`ĩ`
Hex entity	`ĩ`
CSS content	`content: "\0129";`
JavaScript	`"\u0129"`
URL encoded	`%C4%A9`
UTF-8 bytes	`C4 A9`

Method 2: Type it directly with UTF-8

If your page starts with <meta charset="utf-8"> and the file is saved as UTF-8, you can paste ĩ straight into the HTML. Entities are only needed when your editor or database cannot store the character.

Method 3: Watch for normalization

ĩ can also be written as i plus a combining mark. Both look the same but compare as different strings. In JavaScript, call str.normalize("NFC") before comparing or searching.

About the letter ĩ

ĩ is Unicode U+0129, named LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH TILDE. It is used in Vietnamese. A wavy line above a letter. Spanish uses it for ñ, Portuguese for nasal vowels (ã, õ), Estonian for õ, and Vietnamese for the broken rising tone. See the ĩ character page for every code and shortcut.

Troubleshooting

If you see Ã and other symbols, the file is UTF-8 but the browser reads it as Windows-1252. Add the meta charset tag.
Named entities are case sensitive: É and é are different letters.
In XML and XHTML only five named entities exist, so use numeric codes there.
