What Is Uppercase R Acute?

Uppercase R Acute (Ŕ) is the Latin Extended-A character at Unicode U+0154 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH ACUTE). HTML5 names it &Racute;. Use it for Slovak, Lower Sorbian, Võro, and other Latin-script text that needs Ŕ.

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Named: &Racute; is the HTML5 name for U+0154 → Ŕ (case-sensitive: capital R).

2. Hex / decimal: Ŕ or Ŕ insert the same code point.

3. Typed: in a UTF-8 document you can paste Ŕ directly — same glyph, no entity.

4. CSS: use \0154 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ŕ after the paragraph text.

5. Case pair: lowercase is &racute; (U+0155, ŕ) — see lowercase R acute.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Uppercase R Acute.

Case

Named entity is case-sensitive

&Racute; is Ŕ. &racute; is ŕ. Do not mix them.

Plain R

Not the same as plain R

Plain R (U+0052) has no acute. Do not substitute it when Ŕ is required.

Not R with caron

U+0158 (Ř, &Rcaron;) uses a caron, not an acute. See uppercase R caron.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed letter

Use U+0154 instead of R + combining acute (U+0301) when the precomposed form is available.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\0154 belongs in CSS strings. &Racute; / Ŕ / Ŕ belong in HTML.

Fonts

Need Latin Extended-A coverage

Some fonts omit U+0154. Prefer fonts that cover Latin Extended-A (U+0100–U+017F).

Compatibility

Uppercase R Acute (U+0154) and its entity forms (&Racute;, Ŕ, Ŕ, CSS \\0154) are supported in all mainstream browsers when the page is UTF-8 and the font covers Latin Extended-A.

Remember

Key Takeaways

Unicode: this letter is U+0154 (decimal 340) — glyph Ŕ.
HTML: prefer &Racute; — also Ŕ / Ŕ.
CSS: use \0154 inside content for generated text.
Watch out: Ŕ ≠ plain R ≠ R caron Ř ≠ ŕ.

One line: U+0154 → &Racute; / Ŕ / Ŕ / CSS \0154.
