Uppercase A with dot above and macron (Ǡ) is the Unicode character at U+01E0 in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DOT ABOVE AND MACRON — a capital A that carries both a dot and a macron (bar), used in Uralicist and other linguistic notation.

Hex entity Ǡ
Decimal Ǡ
CSS escape \01E0
Not the same Ā · Ȧ · Ǎ
Prefer Ǡ or Ǡ in HTML markup. You can also type Ǡ in UTF-8. Despite the URL slug, this letter has no caron — for Ǎ use &Acaron;.
Using Hex Code: Ǡ
Using HTML Code: Ǡ
Using CSS Entity: Ǡ
Typed directly: Ǡ
Case pair: Ǡ / ǡ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+01E0 → Ǡ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 480 → Ǡ. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \01E0 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ǡ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ǡ in UTF-8, or show the case pair with Ǡ / ǡ.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+01E0 — use numeric references or type the character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+01E0.
Slug
URL says “caron” — glyph does not
This page path includes “caron,” but U+01E0 is dot + macron. For a caron use Ǎ (&Acaron;).
vs Ā
Not macron-only Ā
Ā (Ā) has a macron only. Ǡ adds a dot as well — do not use Ā as a substitute.
vs Ȧ
Not dot-only Ȧ
Ȧ has a dot above only. Use it when you need the single diacritic, not the compound form.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no &Adotmacron; (or similar) for U+01E0. Use Ǡ or Ǡ.
Fonts
Needs Latin Extended-B coverage
Some UI fonts omit rarer Latin Extended-B letters. Prefer a stack with good Latin coverage if the glyph must always show.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01E0 belongs in CSS strings. Ǡ / Ǡ belong in HTML.
A11y
Use real language text
When this letter appears in real words, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
