Lowercase o with ogonek and macron (ǭ) is the Unicode character at U+01ED in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH OGONEK AND MACRON — the letter o with both an ogonek below and a macron above.
Remember
Character ǭ
Unicode U+01ED
Hex entity ǭ
Decimal ǭ
CSS escape \01ED
Named entity (none)
Capital Ǭ (U+01EC)
Not the same o · ǫ (ogonek) · ō (ō)
Prefer ǭ or ǭ in HTML when you need an entity. You can also type ǭ in a UTF-8 document.
Built with Hex: ǭ
Built with Decimal: ǭ
Built with CSS: ǭ
Typed: ǭ
Notation: [ǭ]
How It Works
1. Hex:U+01ED → ǭ in HTML. The browser turns it into ǭ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 493 → ǭ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \01ED in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ǭ.
4. Typed: paste ǭ in a UTF-8 document for dialect or linguistic 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 ogonek and macron.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01ED. Use ǭ or ǭ.
ǫ
Not ogonek alone
ǫ (U+01EB) has only the ogonek. ǭ also has a macron — different letter, different code point.
ō
Not ō alone
ō (ō) is o with macron only. Do not swap it for ǭ when both marks are required.
Fonts
Need Extended-B coverage
Some fonts omit Latin Extended-B. Prefer a font that includes U+01ED for reliable glyphs.
CSS
Pad the CSS escape
Prefer \01ED (four hex digits). A short \1ED can swallow the next hex digit if one follows immediately.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01ED belongs in CSS strings. ǭ / ǭ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ǭ, not ǭ.
Compatibility
Browser Support
Lowercase o with ogonek and macron (U+01ED) and its entity forms (ǭ, ǭ, CSS \\01ED) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Latin Extended-B font coverage.
✓ Universal support

Encode with hex, decimal, CSS escape, or type the character — same code point everywhere encoding is supported.

Bottom line: Prefer ǭ or ǭ in HTML when encoding must be explicit, and \\01ED only inside CSS content. There is no named entity.
Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: lowercase o with ogonek and macron is U+01ED (decimal 493) — glyph ǭ.
HTML: use ǭ or ǭ — no named entity.
CSS: use \01ED inside content for generated text.
Watch out: ǭ ≠ ǫ ≠ ō ≠ plain o.
One line:U+01ED → ǭ / ǭ / CSS \01ED (no named entity).
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ǭ (hex), ǭ (decimal), type ǭ in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \01ED in content. There is no HTML5 named entity for U+01ED.
U+01ED (LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH OGONEK AND MACRON). Hex 1ED, decimal 493. It belongs to Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F).
No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character. Use numeric references like ǭ or ǭ when you need an entity form.
Use it for historical Lithuanian, Samogitian, and linguistic notation that needs ǭ. Prefer ǫ (ǫ) when only the ogonek is required, and ō when only the macron is required.
HTML entities (ǭ or ǭ) go in markup. The CSS escape \01ED goes in stylesheet strings (usually content on ::before/::after).
No. ǫ (U+01EB) has only an ogonek. ō (U+014D, ō) has only a macron. U+01ED is a precomposed letter with both marks.
