Combining comma above reversed (U+0314) is a combining mark in the Combining Diacritical Marks block. It does not stand alone like a normal letter — it stacks above the character that comes before it. Example: a + ̔ renders as a̔. In Greek orthography it is often called dasia (rough breathing).
Remember
Character combining comma above reversed (after a base)
Unicode U+0314
Hex entity ̔
Decimal ̔
CSS escape \0314
Named entity (none for U+0314)
Example a̔ → a̔
Not the same , U+002C · comma above U+0313
Prefer a precomposed Greek letter when one exists for the combination you need. Use U+0314 when composing accents dynamically, for NFD text, or bases without a precomposed form.
Comma above reversed using Hex Code: a̔
Comma above reversed using HTML Code: a̔
Comma above reversed using CSS Entity: a̔
Typed directly: a̔
How It Works
1. Hex: write the base letter, then ̔ → a̔ becomes a̔.
2. Decimal: same mark as 788 → a̔. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: put base + escape in one string: content: "a\0314". #point::after appends that sequence after the paragraph text.
4. Typed: in UTF-8 you can type a then the combining reversed comma above. Order must stay base first, mark second.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with combining comma above reversed.
Order
Base letter first
Write a̔, never put U+0314 before the letter you want to accent.
Named?
