HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

Use Cases

The Uppercase 2 Stroke (ƻ) is commonly used in:

📖 Linguistic text

Language research materials and documents requiring the two-with-stroke variant.

🎤 Phonetic scripts

Phonetic notation systems and linguistic analysis with extended Latin letters.

🌐 International content

Multilingual websites needing accurate extended Latin character representation.

Notation systems requiring specific stroke-letter character variants.

🎓 Academic content

Scholarly papers and research about linguistics and language studies.

📚 Typography

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Declare UTF-8 encoding (<meta charset="utf-8">) in your HTML document
  • Use numeric references (&#x01BB; or &#443;) consistently in HTML
  • Choose fonts that cover Latin Extended-B (U+0180–U+024F) for reliable rendering
  • Use \01BB in CSS content when inserting via pseudo-elements
  • Provide context when the character carries linguistic meaning for accessibility

Don’t

  • Confuse ƻ (U+01BB, two with stroke) with the digit 2 (U+0032)
  • Put CSS escape \01BB in HTML text nodes
  • Expect a named HTML entity—only numeric codes work for ƻ
  • Assume every system font renders Latin Extended-B glyphs
  • Mix hex and decimal references inconsistently within the same document

Key Takeaways

1

Three references render ƻ (no named entity)

&#x01BB; &#443;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
