♿ Accessibility

⚙ Programmatic HTML

When building HTML from linguistic data, using &#524; or &#x020C; guarantees correct output.

💡 Best Practices

Do

  • Serve pages as UTF-8; you can type Ȍ directly in UTF-8 source
  • Use numeric references (&#x020C; or &#524;) when escaping is required
  • Use \020C in CSS content when generating the symbol via pseudo-elements
  • Use fonts that support Latin Extended-B characters (U+0180–U+024F)
  • Distinguish Ȍ (double grave) from Ò (single grave) and Ő (double acute)

Don’t

  • Expect a named HTML entity—none exists for Ȍ
  • Confuse Ȍ (double grave) with Ò (single grave) or Ő (double acute)
  • Combine separate diacritics when the precomposed Ȍ is required
  • Put CSS escape \020C in HTML text nodes
  • Double-encode numeric references in dynamically generated HTML

Key Takeaways

1

Type Ȍ directly, or use hex/decimal references

2

For CSS stylesheets, use the escape in the content property
