Definition

What Is the Lowercase T Caron Entity?

Lowercase t caron (ť) is the Latin Extended-A character at Unicode U+0165 (LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH CARON). It is the letter t with a caron (háček) — used in Czech, Slovak, and related orthographies.

Remember

Character     ť
Unicode       U+0165
Named entity  &tcaron;
Hex entity    &#x165;
Decimal       &#365;
CSS escape    \0165
Capital       &Tcaron; (Ť)

Named, hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: ť. Prefer &tcaron; in HTML source for clarity.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Lowercase T Caron (&tcaron;)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\0165";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Using Named Entity: &tcaron;</p>
  <p>Using Hex Code: &#x165;</p>
  <p>Using HTML Code: &#365;</p>
  <p id="point">Using CSS Entity: </p>
  <p lang="sk">Slovak: by&tcaron;, &tcaron;ava</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &tcaron; is the clearest HTML form and renders ť.

2. Hex: U+0165 → ť in HTML. Same result as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 365 → ŭ. Same result as hex.

4. CSS: use \0165 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ť after the paragraph text.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with lowercase t caron.

Case

`&tcaron;` ≠ `&Tcaron;`

Named entities are case-sensitive. Lowercase is ť; uppercase is Ť.

Look-alikes

Not plain t

Caron (háček) sits above the letter. Do not confuse &tcaron; with plain t.

Compose

Prefer precomposed

Use &tcaron; instead of t plus combining caron (U+030C) when the precomposed form exists.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0165 belongs in CSS. &tcaron; / ť / ŭ belong in HTML.

Encoding

Declare UTF-8

If you type ť directly, keep <meta charset="UTF-8"> so the file is not misread.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &tcaron;, not &tcaron.
