🧠 How It Works

1

Hexadecimal Code

&#x0110; uses the Unicode hexadecimal value 0110 to display the character. The x prefix indicates hexadecimal format.

HTML markup
2

Decimal HTML Code

&#272; uses the decimal Unicode value 272 to display the same character. A common method for Latin Extended-A characters.

HTML markup
3

Named Entity

&Dstrok; is the standard named entity for Đ—readable in source HTML and part of the HTML5 entity set.

HTML markup
4

CSS Entity

\0110 is used in CSS stylesheets, particularly in the content property of pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after.

Same visual result

All four methods produce the glyph: Đ. Unicode U+0110 sits in Latin Extended-A. Lowercase equivalent: U+0111 (&dstrok;). Do not confuse Đ (D stroke) with Ð (eth) or plain D (U+0044).

✅

Use Cases

The uppercase D with stroke (Đ) is commonly used in:

🇻🇳 Vietnamese

Place names and words such as Đà Nẵng and Đồng Nai in Vietnamese-language content.

🇭🇷 Croatian

Croatian websites, documents, and proper names requiring Đ in the Latin alphabet.

🇷🇺 Serbian

Serbian Latin-script content, surnames, and localized text using Đ.

📄 Academic publishing

🔍 Search & SEO

Correct rendering so users can find content with proper accented spelling.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Use &Dstrok; in HTML when possible for readability
  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can also type Đ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Set lang attributes (e.g. lang="vi", lang="hr", lang="sr") for correct pronunciation
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-A characters
  • Distinguish Đ (D stroke, U+0110) from Ð (eth) and plain D (U+0044)

Don’t

  • Substitute plain D when Đ is required for correct spelling
  • Confuse Đ (D stroke) with Ð (eth) or other D variants
  • Put CSS escape \0110 in HTML text nodes
  • Assume all fonts render Latin Extended-A glyphs identically
  • Omit UTF-8 encoding on pages with accented characters

Key Takeaways

1

Four references render Đ; named entity is most readable

&#x0110; &#272; &Dstrok;
2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
