aͫ)—order matters for combining marks - Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type ͫ directly in UTF-8 source
- Use fonts that support Combining Diacritical Marks (U+0300–U+036F)
- Use numeric references when escaping or generating HTML programmatically
- Pick one entity style (hex or decimal) per project for consistency
Don’t
- Substitute plain
m(U+006D) when ͫ is required as a combining diacritic - Confuse ͫ (combining m) with ɯ (turned m, U+026F)
- Expect a named HTML entity—none exists for this character
- Put the combining character before the base letter—it must follow the base
- Put CSS escape
