How to Type ĵ (J with circumflex) on HTML

Published June 1, 2026, 2 min read

Need ĵ 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 ĵ, and there are a few backups below for when that one is not available.

ĵ on HTML: ĵ

Ĵ on HTML: Ĵ

Or copy it:

Method 1: Codes for web pages

Format	Code for ĵ
Decimal entity	`ĵ`
Hex entity	`ĵ`
CSS content	`content: "\0135";`
JavaScript	`"\u0135"`
URL encoded	`%C4%B5`
UTF-8 bytes	`C4 B5`

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 ĵ straight into the HTML. Entities are only needed when your editor or database cannot store the character.

Method 3: Watch for normalization

ĵ can also be written as j 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 ĵ

ĵ is Unicode U+0135, named LATIN SMALL LETTER J WITH CIRCUMFLEX. It is used in Esperanto. A small caret (^) above a vowel. In French it often marks a vanished s (forêt from forest), in Portuguese a closed vowel, in Welsh a long vowel, and in Vietnamese a distinct vowel (â, ê, ô). See the ĵ 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.
