Definition

What Is Bridge Below?

Combining bridge below (U+032A) is a combining mark in the Combining Diacritical Marks block. It stacks below the character that comes before it — used in IPA and linguistics (e.g. dental cues). Example: t + ̪ renders as t̪.

Remember

Character     combining bridge below (after a base)
Unicode       U+032A
Hex entity    &#x032A;
Decimal       &#810;
CSS escape    \032A
Named entity  (none)
Example       t&#x032A; → t̪
Not the same  U+0346 (combining bridge above)

There is no standard named HTML entity for U+032A. Place the mark after the base letter in HTML, UTF-8 text, or CSS content strings.

Reference

Quick Reference

One table for every form you will actually use.

Form	Code	Where it goes

Decimal entity	`̪`	HTML markup (after base letter)
CSS escape	`\032A`	Stylesheet `content` string
Named entity (U+032A)	—	Not defined in HTML5

When to Use Which

Situation	Use
Bridge mark below a letter	`t̪` or type base + U+032A

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Combining Bridge Below (U+032A) in HTML</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "t\032A";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Bridge below using Hex Code: t&#x032A;</p>
  <p>Bridge below using HTML Code: t&#810;</p>
  <p id="point">Bridge below using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p>Typed directly: t̪</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: write the base letter, then ̪ → t̪ becomes t̪.

2. Decimal: same mark as 810 → t̪. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: put base + escape in one string: content: "t\032A". #point::after appends that sequence after the paragraph text.

4. Typed: in UTF-8 you can type t then the combining bridge below. Order must stay base first, mark second.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with combining bridge below.

Order

Base letter first

Write t̪, never put U+032A before the letter you want to mark.

Named?

No named entity for U+032A

Use numeric forms ̪ or ̪.

Above

Not bridge above

For a bridge over the letter use U+0346.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\032A belongs in CSS strings. ̪ / ̪ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Combining support varies

Some fonts stack U+032A poorly. Prefer fonts with solid Combining Diacritical Marks / IPA support.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write ̪, not &#810.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Combining bridge below (U+032A) and its numeric entity forms (̪, ̪, CSS \\032A) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Stacking quality depends on font support for combining marks.

✓ Universal support

Bridge Below (U+032A)

Encode with hex, decimal, or CSS escape after a base letter — same combining mark everywhere encoding is supported.

Bottom line: Use ̪ or ̪ after a base letter when you need the combining mark, and \\032A only inside CSS content strings.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: combining bridge below is U+032A (decimal 810).
HTML: base first, then ̪ or ̪ (e.g. t̪).
CSS: use "t\032A" (or another base) inside content.
Watch out: U+032A is below; U+0346 is above.

One line: U+032A → after a base letter as ̪ / ̪ / CSS \032A.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I display combining bridge below (U+032A) in HTML?

Place ̪ (hex) or ̪ (decimal) immediately after a base letter — for example t̪. In CSS, use content: "t\032A". There is no named HTML entity for U+032A.

What is the Unicode value for bridge below?

U+032A (hex 032A, decimal 810). Unicode names it COMBINING BRIDGE BELOW. It belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks block and stacks below the preceding base character.

Is there a named HTML entity for U+032A?

No. HTML5 / WHATWG does not define a named character reference for U+032A. Prefer ̪, ̪, or a typed combining sequence in UTF-8.

When should I use bridge below?

Use U+032A in IPA and linguistics when a bridge-below diacritic is needed (e.g. dental articulation cues). Prefer clear text labels when the mark must be obvious to screen readers.

What is the difference between HTML code and CSS entity for U+032A?

HTML entities (̪ or ̪) go in markup after the base letter. The CSS escape \032A goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after), typically as "t\032A".

How is U+032A different from U+0346?

U+032A is combining bridge below (under the letter). U+0346 is combining bridge above (over the letter). They are different code points.
