Uppercase O ogonek macron (Ǭ) is the Unicode character at U+01EC in Latin Extended-B. Official name: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH OGONEK AND MACRON — a capital O with an ogonek below and a macron above, used in historical Lithuanian and dialect (including Samogitian) notation.

Not the same Ǫ · ǭ · Ō
Prefer Ǭ or Ǭ in HTML markup. You can also type Ǭ in UTF-8. There is no named entity. For the lowercase letter, use U+01ED (ǭ).

Using CSS Entity: Ǭ
Typed directly: Ǭ
Not Ǫ (ogonek only) or Ō (macron only)
How It Works
1. Hex:U+01EC → Ǭ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ǭ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 492 → Ǭ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \01EC in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ǭ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / compare: paste Ǭ in UTF-8. Keep Ǫ (ogonek only) and Ō (macron only) as separate characters.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+01EC.
Named
No &O…; name
HTML5 has no named entity for U+01EC. Use Ǭ or Ǭ — do not invent a name.
vs Ǫ
Not ogonek alone
Ǫ (&Oogon;) has the hook below but no macron above. Ǭ needs both marks.
vs Ō
Not macron alone
Ō (Ō) is long Ō with no ogonek. Do not swap the two.
vs ǭ
Case matters
Ǭ is capital. ǭ is lowercase. Use the matching code point for each case.
Encoding
Keep UTF-8 declared
Latin Extended-B letters display reliably with <meta charset="UTF-8">. Prefer numeric entities when encoding is uncertain.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\01EC belongs in CSS strings. Ǭ / Ǭ belong in HTML.
A11y
Use real language context
When Ǭ appears in Lithuanian or dialect text, keep surrounding text and lang accurate (for example lang="lt").
