Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+021A → &#x021A; in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 538 → &#538;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \021A in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Language sample: lang="ro" marks Romanian context; words like Țară and Stație use T with comma below.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+021A. Use &#x021A; or &#538;.

Look-alikes

Not T cedilla

U+021A is comma below (Ț). Do not substitute &Tcedil; (U+0162, Ţ) for modern Romanian — they are different characters.

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is ț (U+021B). Keep case consistent in titles and sorting.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed form

Use U+021A rather than T + combining comma below unless you have a specific normalization reason.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\021A belongs in CSS. Numeric entities belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#538;, not &#538.
