How It Works
1. Hex:U+0211 → ȑ in HTML. The browser turns it into ȑ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 529 → ȑ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \0211 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends ȑ.
4. Typed: paste ȑ 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 r with double grave.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+0211. Use ȑ or ȑ.
Look-alikes
Not caron or cedilla
ř (ř) and ŗ (ŗ) are different letters. Double grave marks tone — do not swap them.
Compose
Prefer precomposed
Use U+0211 instead of stacking combining double grave (U+030F) on r when the precomposed form exists.
Fonts
Need Extended-B coverage
Some fonts omit Latin Extended-B. Prefer a font that includes U+0211 for reliable glyphs.
CSS
Pad the CSS escape
Prefer \0211 (four hex digits). A short \211 can swallow the next hex digit if one follows immediately.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0211 belongs in CSS strings. ȑ / ȑ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish entities with ; — write ȑ, not ȑ.
