What Is the Combining Palatalized Hook Below Entity?
Combining Palatalized Hook Below is the nonspacing mark at Unicode U+0321 that draws a small hook below the preceding character. HTML5 has no named entity — use ̡ or ̡ right after a base (e.g. t̡ → t̡).
Remember
Character (combining) ̡
Unicode U+0321
Named entity (none)
Hex entity ̡
Decimal ̡
CSS escape \321
Hex, decimal, and CSS all produce the same combining mark. Always place it immediately after the base character.
Using Hex Code: t̡
Using HTML Code: t̡
Using CSS Entity: t̡
IPA sample: t̡
How It Works
1. Hex: write the base, then ̡ — e.g. t̡ → t̡.
2. Decimal: same mark as 801 → t̡. Same visual result.
3. CSS: use \321 in content after a base in the string (e.g. "t\321").
4. No named form: there is no &…; name for U+0321 — stick to numeric or CSS escapes.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Combining Palatalized Hook Below.

Base first, then mark

vs U+0322
Not retroflex hook

CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\321 belongs in CSS. ̡ / ̡ belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write ̡, not ̡.
