How It Works
1. Hex:U+0204 → Ȅ in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.
2. Decimal: same code point as 516 → Ȅ. Same glyph as hex.
3. CSS: use \0204 in content (not an HTML entity). Prefer the four-digit form so the escape is not ambiguous next to other hex digits. #point::after appends that Ȅ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ȅ in UTF-8, or show the case pair with Ȅ / ȅ.
5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+0204 — use numeric references or type the character.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+0204.
vs È
Not single-grave È
È (È) has one grave. Ȅ has two — do not use È for double-grave notation.
vs Ė
Not dot-above Ė
Ė (Ė) has a single dot. A double grave is two grave marks, not a dot.
Named
No named HTML entity
There is no &Edblgrave; (or similar) for U+0204. Use Ȅ or Ȅ.
CSS
Prefer \0204 over \204
A short escape like \204 can swallow following hex digits. Use \0204 (or end the escape with a space) in CSS strings.
Fonts
Needs Latin Extended-B coverage
Some UI fonts omit rarer Latin Extended-B letters. Prefer a stack with good Latin coverage if the glyph must always show.
A11y
Use real language text
When this letter appears in real words, keep surrounding text and lang accurate so screen readers get useful context.
