Uppercase Ae Dash (Ǣ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+01E2 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AE WITH MACRON). There is no named HTML entity. Use hex or decimal codes for linguistic text that needs AE with a macron (bar above).
Remember
Character Ǣ
Unicode U+01E2
Named entity (none)
Hex entity Ǣ
Decimal Ǣ
CSS escape \01E2
Not the same Æ (Æ) · Ǽ (acute) · ǣ (lowercase)
Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ǣ. Prefer Ǣ in HTML markup. For plain capital AE see Æ; for AE with acute see uppercase ae acute.
Built with Hex: Ǣ
Built with Decimal: Ǣ
Built with CSS: Ǣ
Typed: Ǣ
Case pair: Ǣ / ǣ
How It Works
1. Hex:Ǣ inserts Unicode U+01E2 → Ǣ. Prefer this when there is no named entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 482 → Ǣ. Same visual as hex.
3. CSS: use \01E2 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends Ǣ.
4. Typed: paste Ǣ in a UTF-8 document, or write Case pair: Ǣ / ǣ.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase Ae Dash.
Named
No named entity
Do not invent names like Æmacron;. Use Ǣ or Ǣ. Plain AE is Æ.
Look-alikes
Ǣ ≠ Æ ≠ Ǽ
Macron AE is Ǣ. Plain is Æ. Acute is Ǽ. The bar above is a macron, not an ASCII hyphen.
A11y
Prefer precomposed
Use U+01E2 rather than Æ + combining macron when possible — one code point is clearer for search and screen readers.
Fonts
Glyph coverage
Latin Extended-B coverage varies. Prefer fonts with linguistic support and test on mobile.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01E2 belongs in CSS. Ǣ / Ǣ belong in HTML. Keep the leading zero in \01E2.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Ǣ, not Ǣ.
