What You'll Learn

How to display the combining Latin small letter t (ͭ) in HTML using hexadecimal, decimal, and CSS escape methods. This character (U+036D) is a nonspacing combining mark from the Combining Diacritical Marks block. It appears as a small superscript “t” above a base character—for example, nͭ shows a small t above the letter n.

Render it with ͭ, ͭ, or CSS escape \36D. There is no named HTML entity. As a combining character, it must follow a base character for correct rendering. Do not confuse it with plain lowercase t (U+0074).

🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x36D; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 36D to display the character. Place it immediately after a base character so it renders above it.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#877; uses the decimal Unicode value 877 to display the same character. A common method for combining characters.

CSS Entity

\36D is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

Combining mark behavior

All three methods produce ͭ. Unicode U+036D is a nonspacing combining character (Mn) in the Combining Diacritical Marks block. Place it immediately after a base letter (e.g. n&#x36D;) so it combines correctly. There is no named HTML entity.

Use Cases

The combining Latin small letter t (ͭ) is commonly used in:

📜 Medieval notation

Superscript or abbreviated letter “t” in medieval Latin script and palaeographic transcriptions.

🗣 Phonetic transcription

Phonetic or phonological notation where a small t is placed above a base letter.

🔤 Linguistics

Academic papers, critical editions, and language documentation using combining characters.

🎨 Typography

Font specimens showcasing Combining Diacritical Marks (U+0300–U+036F) support.

📄 Normalization

Unicode normalization (NFC/NFD) and text processing of combining sequences.

⚙ Unicode testing

Testing support of combining characters and correct rendering order.

📝 Annotation

Transliteration or annotation systems using ͭ to modify a base character.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#877; or &#x36D; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Place ͭ immediately after the base character for correct combining
  • Serve pages as UTF-8 for combining character support
  • Use fonts that support Combining Diacritical Marks (U+0300–U+036F)
  • Distinguish ͭ (combining mark) from plain t (U+0074)

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for ͭ
  • Use plain t when a combining mark is required
  • Use U+0036D or CSS \0036D—the correct code is U+036D and \36D
  • Put CSS escape \36D in HTML text nodes
  • Separate the combining mark from its base character with spaces or tags

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render ͭ (no named entity)

2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
