Ń on HTML: Ń

Or copy it:

Method 1: Codes for web pages

Format	Code for ń
Decimal entity	`ń`
Hex entity	`ń`
CSS content	`content: "\0144";`
JavaScript	`"\u0144"`
URL encoded	`%C5%84`
UTF-8 bytes	`C5 84`

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

Method 3: Watch for normalization

ń can also be written as n 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 ń

ń is Unicode U+0144, named LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH ACUTE. It is used in Polish and Yoruba. A short line slanting up to the right. It marks stress in Spanish (canción), a closed vowel in French (été), vowel length in Czech, Hungarian and Irish, and a rising tone in Vietnamese and Pinyin. See the ń 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.
