How to Type ň (N with caron) on HTML

Published June 26, 2026, 2 min read

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

ň on HTML: ň

Ň on HTML: Ň

Or copy it:

Method 1: Codes for web pages

Format	Code for ň
Decimal entity	`ň`
Hex entity	`ň`
CSS content	`content: "\0148";`
JavaScript	`"\u0148"`
URL encoded	`%C5%88`
UTF-8 bytes	`C5 88`

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

Method 3: Watch for normalization

ň 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 ň

ň is Unicode U+0148, named LATIN SMALL LETTER N WITH CARON. It is used in Czech and Slovak. A small v above a letter, called háček in Czech and kvačica in Croatian. It softens consonants (č, š, ž, ř) and marks the third tone in Pinyin (ǎ, ǐ). See the ň 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.
