🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x200; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 200 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#512; uses the decimal Unicode value 512 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-B characters.

HTML markup
3

CSS Entity

\200 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

CSS stylesheet
=

Same visual result

All three methods produce the glyph: Ȁ. Unicode U+0200 sits in Latin Extended-B. Lowercase equivalent: U+0201 (ȁ). There is no named HTML entity. Do not confuse with À (single grave) or Ǡ (dot above + macron—different character, similar glyph).

Use Cases

The uppercase A double grave (Ȁ) is commonly used in:

🔤 Slavic linguistics

Slovenian, Croatian, and other Slavic notation for tone, stress, or phonetic representation.

🌐 Internationalization

Websites and apps for Slavic languages or linguistic research requiring Ȁ.

📚 Language learning

Dictionaries and learning resources showing correct tone with double-grave diacritics.

🔍 Search & SEO

📝 Phonetic transcription

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &#512; or &#x200; in HTML (no named entity exists)
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ȁ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Set lang="sl" or lang="hr" for Slavic language content
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B diacritics
  • Distinguish Ȁ (double grave) from À (single grave) and plain A

Don’t

  • Assume a named entity exists—there is none for Ȁ
  • Substitute À (single grave) when Ȁ (double grave) is required
  • Confuse Ȁ with Ǡ (dot above + macron)—different Unicode characters
  • Put CSS escape \200 in HTML text nodes
  • Assume all fonts render Latin Extended-B double-grave glyphs

Key Takeaways

1
