What Is Uppercase A Double Grave?

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+0200 → &#x0200; in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 512 → &#512;. Same glyph as hex.

3. CSS: use \0200 in content (not an HTML entity). Prefer the four-digit form so the escape is not ambiguous next to other hex digits. #point::after appends that Ȁ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / pair: paste Ȁ in UTF-8, or show the case pair with &#x0200; / &#x0201;.

5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+0200 — use numeric references or type the character.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+0200.

vs À

Not single-grave À

À (&Agrave;) has one grave. Ȁ has two — do not use À for Serbian/Slavic double-grave notation.

vs Ǡ

Not dot+macron Ǡ

Ǡ looks different but can be confused in low-quality fonts. Double grave is two grave marks, not a dot and bar.

Named

No named HTML entity

There is no &Adblgrave; (or similar) for U+0200. Use &#x0200; or &#512;.

CSS

Prefer \0200 over \200

A short escape like \200 can swallow following hex digits. Use \0200 (or end the escape with a space) in CSS strings.

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.

A11y

Use real language text

When this letter appears in real words, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.

Browser Support

Uppercase A with double grave (U+0200) and its entity forms (&#x0200;, &#512;, CSS \\0200) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Latin Extended-B font coverage.
