💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Place &#x0362; immediately after the base letter (e.g. a&#x0362;)
  • Use <meta charset="utf-8"> on pages with combining marks
  • Choose IPA-friendly fonts (Charis SIL, Doulos SIL, Noto)
  • Use hex or decimal consistently within one document
  • Distinguish U+0362 (double arrow) from U+0357 (single arrow below)

Don’t

  • Confuse U+0362 with U+035C (double breve below)
  • Put a space between the base letter and the combining entity
  • Expect a named HTML entity—use numeric references only
  • Put CSS escape \0362 inside HTML text nodes
  • Assume every font renders IPA combining arrows correctly
