Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+018B → Ƌ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ƌ.

2. Decimal: same code point as 395 → Ƌ. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \018B in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ƌ after the paragraph text.

4. Typed / pair: paste Ƌ in UTF-8, and use ƌ (U+018C) for the lowercase form.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Uppercase D Topbar.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+018B. Use Ƌ or Ƌ.

Not plain D

Keyboard D is U+0044. Use U+018B only when you need the topbar capital letter.

Not D stroke

Đ (&Dstrok;) has a stroke through the stem. Topbar Ƌ has a bar on top.

Case pair

Lowercase d with topbar is U+018C (ƌ). Pick the case that matches your text.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\018B belongs in CSS strings. Ƌ / Ƌ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Extended Latin coverage

Some UI fonts omit Latin Extended-B letters. Prefer a font that covers this block for display.
