How It Works
1. Hex:U+020E → Ȏ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ȏ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 526 → Ȏ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \020E in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ȏ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / compare: paste Ȏ in UTF-8. Keep regular breve Ŏ (&Obreve;) as a different letter.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+020E.
Named?
No named entity
HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+020E. Use Ȏ or Ȏ.
vs Ŏ
Not a regular breve
Ŏ (&Obreve;) has a ∪-shaped breve. Ȏ has an inverted (∩) mark — different letters.
vs O
Not plain capital O
Keyboard O is U+004F. Use U+020E only when you need the inverted-breve form.
Pair
Lowercase is U+020F
Small letter ȏ has no named entity either — use ȏ or ȏ.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\020E belongs in CSS strings. Ȏ / Ȏ belong in HTML.
Fonts
