How It Works
1. Hex:U+020D → ȍ in HTML. The browser turns it into ȍ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 525 → ȍ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \020D in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ȍ.
4. Typed: paste ȍ in a UTF-8 document for phonological text. There is no named entity — numeric form is required when you need an entity.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with lowercase o with double grave.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+020D. Use ȍ or ȍ.
ò
Not ò
ò has a single grave. ȍ has a double grave — different letters for different uses.
Look-alikes
Not double acute
Hungarian ő (ő) uses a double acute (rising). Double grave leans the other way — do not swap them.
Fonts
Need Extended-B coverage
Some fonts omit Latin Extended-B. Prefer a font that includes U+020D for reliable glyphs.
CSS
Pad the CSS escape
Prefer \020D (four hex digits). A short \20D can swallow the next hex digit if one follows immediately.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\020D belongs in CSS strings. ȍ / ȍ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ȍ, not ȍ.
