Remember
Character Ȧ
Unicode U+0226
Named entity (none)
Hex entity Ȧ
Decimal Ȧ
CSS escape \0226
Not the same Ǡ · Ä · ȧ

Using Hex Code: Ȧ
Using HTML Code: Ȧ
Using CSS Entity: Ȧ
Typed directly: Ȧ
Case pair: Ȧ / ȧ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+0226 → Ȧ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 550 → Ȧ. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \0226 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ȧ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ȧ in UTF-8, or show the case pair with Ȧ / ȧ.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+0226 — use numeric references or type the character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+0226.
vs Ǡ
Not dot+macron Ǡ
Ǡ combines a dot and a macron. Ȧ has a single dot only — do not use Ǡ as a substitute.
vs Ä
Not an umlaut Ä
Ä (Ä) is a diaeresis (two dots). Ȧ is one centered dot above the letter.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no &Adot; (or similar) for U+0226. Use Ȧ or Ȧ.
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
\0226 belongs in CSS strings. Ȧ / Ȧ 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.
