Qp digraph (ȹ) is the Latin Extended-B letter at Unicode U+0239 (LATIN SMALL LETTER QP DIGRAPH). It is a single character used in phonetic and orthographic notation — not the two letters q and p. There is no named HTML entity; use hex, decimal, UTF-8, or CSS.
Remember
Character ȹ
Unicode U+0239
Named entity none
Hex entity ȹ
Decimal ȹ
CSS escape \0239
All numeric and UTF-8 forms produce the same glyph: ȹ. Prefer ȹ for portable markup; paste ȹ in UTF-8 when convenient.
Using Hex Code: ȹa
Using Decimal: ȹa
Using Direct Character: ȹa
Using CSS Entity: ȹa
How It Works
1. Hex:U+0239 → ȹ in HTML. Best portable choice (no named entity).
2. Decimal: same code point as 569 → ȹ. Same glyph.
3. Direct: paste ȹ in a UTF-8 file with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
4. CSS: use \0239 in content (not an HTML entity). The empty #point span receives that ȹ via ::after.
5. Named: HTML5 has none — do not invent a name like &qpdigraph;.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with this digraph letter.
No name
Do not invent a named entity
There is no &…; name for U+0239. Use ȹ or ȹ.
One char
Not q + p
ȹ is one Unicode letter. Typing qp is two characters and may wrap or sort differently.
Not DB
ȹ vs ȸ
DB digraph is U+0238. Related Latin Extended-B digraph — different code point.
Font
Glyph coverage varies
Many default fonts omit Latin Extended-B digraphs. Provide a fallback font for phonetic work.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0239 belongs in CSS. ȹ / ȹ belong in HTML.
UTF-8
Declare charset
If you paste ȹ directly, serve the page as UTF-8 with <meta charset="UTF-8">.
Compatibility

✓ Universal support
Qp Digraph (ȹ)

Remember
Key Takeaways
Unicode: qp digraph is U+0239 (decimal 569), Latin Extended-B.
HTML: no named entity — use ȹ or ȹ.
CSS: use \0239 inside content for generated text.
Meaning: one digraph letter — not qp and not ȸ (DB).
One line:U+0239 → ȹ / ȹ / CSS \0239 (no named entity).
Frequently Asked Questions
Use ȹ (hex), ȹ (decimal), type ȹ in UTF-8, or the CSS escape \0239 in content. There is no named HTML entity for U+0239.
U+0239 (LATIN SMALL LETTER QP DIGRAPH). Hex 0239, decimal 569. It belongs to Latin Extended-B and is used in phonetic and orthographic notation.
No. HTML5 does not define a named entity for this character. Prefer ȹ or ȹ, or paste ȹ in a UTF-8 document.
Use it in phonetics, African orthographies, and linguistic text that needs the single qp-digraph letter. Prefer ȹ for portable markup.
HTML numeric entities (ȹ or ȹ) go in markup. The CSS escape \0239 is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render ȹ.
No. ȹ is a single Unicode digraph letter (U+0239). The sequence qp is two separate characters. Use U+0239 when you need the digraph glyph as one unit.
