Not the same HV · H · Ħ
Prefer Ƕ or Ƕ in HTML markup. You can also type Ƕ in UTF-8. There is no named entity. For the lowercase form, use ƕ (ƕ).
Using Hex Code: Ƕ
Using HTML Code: Ƕ
Using CSS Entity: Ƕ
Typed directly: Ƕ
Example: Gothic Ƕ
Case pair: Ƕ / ƕ
How It Works
1. Hex:U+01F6 → Ƕ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ƕ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 502 → Ƕ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \01F6 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ƕ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / pair: paste Ƕ in UTF-8, and use ƕ (U+0195) for the lowercase form.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with capital hwair.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01F6. Use Ƕ or Ƕ.
vs HV
Not the digraph HV
Hwair is one letter. Typing HV is two characters and may not match Gothic orthography.
vs H
Not plain capital H
Keyboard H is U+0048. Use U+01F6 only when you need the hwair capital letter.
ƕ
Case pair
Lowercase is U+0195 (ƕ). Pick the case that matches your text.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01F6 belongs in CSS strings. Ƕ / Ƕ belong in HTML.
Fonts

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