Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+020C → &#x020C; in HTML. Preferred numeric form when you need an entity.

2. Decimal: same code point as 524 → &#524;. Same glyph as hex.

3. CSS: use \020C (four hex digits) in content. Shorter forms can be misread by the CSS parser. #point::after appends that Ȍ.

4. Typed / pair: paste Ȍ in UTF-8, or show both cases with &#x020C; / &#x020D;.

5. No named entity: HTML5 does not define a name for U+020C — use numeric references or type the character. &Ograve; is single grave Ò, not Ȍ.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with U+020C.

Named

No named HTML entity

There is no named entity for U+020C. Use &#x020C; or &#524;.

vs Ò

Not a single grave

Ò (&Ograve;) is O with one grave. Ȍ has a double grave — do not swap them.

vs Ő

Not a double acute

Ő (&Odblac;) is O with double acute (Hungarian). Double grave and double acute are different marks.

Encoding

Keep UTF-8 declared

Latin Extended-B letters display reliably with <meta charset="UTF-8">. Prefer numeric entities when the source file encoding is uncertain.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\020C belongs in CSS strings. &#x020C; / &#524; belong in HTML.

Fonts

Coverage varies

Some UI fonts omit less-common Latin Extended-B glyphs. Test Ȍ in your target fonts.

Browser Support

Uppercase O with double grave (U+020C) and its entity forms (&#x020C;, &#524;, CSS \\020C) are supported in all mainstream browsers. Visible glyphs depend on Latin Extended-B font coverage.
