Definition

What Is Uppercase D Strike?

Uppercase D strike (Ð), also called eth, is the Unicode character at U+00D0 in Latin-1 Supplement. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER ETH — used in Icelandic, Faroese, and historical English orthographies.

Remember

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: Ð (all caps) is the clearest HTML form for U+00D0. Lowercase ð is a different character (ð).

2. Hex: U+00D0 → Ð in HTML. Same glyph as the named entity.

3. Decimal: same code point as 208 → Ð. Same glyph as hex and named.

4. CSS: use \00D0 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ð after the paragraph text.

5. Typed / label: paste Ð in UTF-8, or write Ðetta with lang="is".

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+00D0.

Case

Ð ≠ ð

Ð → Ð (capital). ð → ð (lowercase). Entity names are case-sensitive.

vs Đ

Not D stroke

Đ (U+0110) is Latin capital D with stroke. Eth Ð and D stroke look similar in some fonts but are different letters.

vs D

Not a plain capital D

ASCII D (U+0044) has no crossbar. Use Ð when the language requires eth.

Fonts

Nearly universal coverage

Latin-1 letters like Ð are included in almost every modern font. Still prefer UTF-8 encoding for the page.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\00D0 belongs in CSS strings. Ð / Ð / Ð belong in HTML.

A11y

Mark the language

When Ð appears in real words, set lang (e.g. is or fo) so screen readers pronounce names correctly.
