0x21C

0x21C is the hexadecimal notation for the Unicode code point U+021C, which designates the Latin Capital Letter Yogh (Ȝ). The corresponding lowercase form is U+021D (ȝ). The character is part of the Latin Extended-B block in Unicode.

Historical context: Yogh is a letter historically used in Middle English and Middle Scots. It represented a variety of sounds in different dialects and spellings; in modern English orthography it was replaced by combinations such as gh, y, or z. The yogh survives in a number of proper names and in some scholarly transcriptions of medieval texts.

Encoding and usage today: In contemporary typography, Ȝ is supported in many fonts that include the Latin Extended-B range; however, it is not part of standard modern English alphabets and is rarely encountered outside linguistic or historical works. In digital text processing, 0x21C usually denotes the code point U+021C, so rendering depends on font support. The lowercase yogh ȝ is related but distinct.
