How It Works
1. Hex:U+01AB → ƫ in HTML. There is no named entity for this code point.
2. Decimal: same code point as 427 → ƫ. Same glyph.
3. CSS: use \01AB in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that ƫ after the paragraph text.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with the t palatal hook entity.
Named
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01AB. Use ƫ or ƫ.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01AB belongs in CSS. ƫ / ƫ belong in HTML.
Look-alikes
Not t, ƭ, or ȶ
Plain t is U+0074; hook is U+01AD; curl is U+0236. Palatal hook is U+01AB.
Fonts
Need Extended-B coverage
Some fonts omit Latin Extended-B. Prefer a font that includes U+01AB for a reliable glyph.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ƫ, not ƫ.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ƫ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
