Do

Place ͪ immediately after the base character it modifies (e.g. pͪ)
Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ͪ directly in UTF-8 source
Use fonts that support combining diacritical marks for reliable rendering
Use ͪ or ͪ in HTML (no named entity exists)
Test base + combining rendering across browsers and fonts

Don’t

Assume a named entity exists—there is none for ͪ
Confuse ͪ (combining h) with plain h, ʰ (modifier ʰ), or ɦ (h hook)
Expect standalone ͪ to always display meaningfully without a base character
Put CSS escape \036A in HTML text nodes
Assume all fonts stack combining marks identically

Key Takeaways

Three references render ͪ (no named entity)

ͪ ͪ

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
