Uppercase D Caron (Ď) is the Latin Extended-A character at Unicode U+010E (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH CARON). HTML5 names it Ď. Use it for Czech, Slovak, and other Central European text that needs Ď.
Remember
Character Ď
Unicode U+010E
Named entity Ď
Hex entity Ď
Decimal Ď
CSS escape \010E
Not the same ď (ď) · D · Ɖ
Named, hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ď. Prefer Ď or Ď in HTML markup. For the lowercase form see ď; for African D see uppercase D African.

How It Works
1. Named:Ď is the HTML5 name for U+010E → Ď (case-sensitive: capital D).
2. Hex:Ď inserts the same code point. Same visual as named.
3. Decimal: same code point as 270 → Ď.
4. CSS: use \010E in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends Ď.
5. Typed: paste Ď in a UTF-8 document, or write Slovak text with Ď.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase D Caron.
Named
Prefer Ď
The name is case-sensitive. Ď is Ď; ď is ď. Do not mix them up.
Look-alikes
Ď ≠ ď ≠ D ≠ Ɖ
Capital caron is Ď. Lowercase is ď. Plain Latin is D. African D is U+0189. Match case and letter to the word.

Use real letters
Prefer the precomposed character Ď (or Ď) over D + combining caron when possible — screen readers and search handle it more reliably.
Fonts
Glyph coverage
Latin Extended-A is widely supported. Still set lang="cs" or lang="sk" when the text is Czech or Slovak.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\010E belongs in CSS. Ď / Ď / Ď belong in HTML.
Semicolon
End references
Always finish with ; — write Ď, not &Dcaron.

Key Takeaways
Unicode: this symbol is U+010E (decimal 270) — Latin capital letter D with caron.
HTML: prefer Ď — or use Ď / Ď.
CSS: use \010E inside content for generated text.
Watch out:Ď (Ď) ≠ ď (ď) ≠ African D Ɖ.
Use Ď (named), Ď (hex), Ď (decimal), or the CSS escape \010E in the content property. All render Ď. Prefer Ď or Ď for readable markup.
U+010E (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER D WITH CARON). Hex 010E, decimal 270, named entity Ď. It belongs to Latin Extended-A (U+0100–U+017F).
Yes. HTML5 defines Ď for U+010E. It is case-sensitive — write Dcaron with a capital D. Lowercase ď is a different character (ď).
U+010E (Ď) is capital D with caron. U+010F (ď) is lowercase d with caron. U+0189 is African D — a different letter, not a caron accent.
Use it for Czech, Slovak, and other Central European Latin-script text that needs Ď (for example Slovak Ďakujem).
HTML entities (Ď, Ď, or Ď) go in markup. The CSS escape \010E is used in stylesheets (usually in the content property of ::before/::after). Both render Ď.
