💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &ETH; in HTML when possible for readability
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Ð directly in UTF-8 source
  • Set lang attributes (e.g. lang="is", lang="fo") for correct pronunciation
  • Use fonts that support Latin-1 Supplement characters
  • Distinguish Ð (eth, U+00D0) from Đ (D stroke) and plain D (U+0044)

Don’t

  • Substitute plain D when Ð is required for correct spelling
  • Confuse Ð (eth) with Đ (D stroke) or other D variants
  • Put CSS escape \00D0 in HTML text nodes
  • Assume all fonts render Latin-1 glyphs identically
  • Omit UTF-8 encoding on pages with accented characters

Key Takeaways
