Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex: U+01AC → &#x01AC; in HTML. The browser turns it into the glyph.

2. Decimal: same code point as 428 → &#428;. Same result as hex.

3. CSS: use \01AC in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that glyph after the paragraph text.

4. Compare: plain T, uppercase hook Ƭ, and lowercase hook ƭ are three different characters.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with this character.

Named?

No named entity

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01AC. Use &#x01AC; or &#428;.

Look-alikes

Not retroflex or diagonal stroke

U+01AC is T with hook (Ƭ). Do not confuse with retroflex hook Ʈ (U+01AE) or diagonal stroke Ⱦ (U+023E).

Case

Use the correct case pair

Lowercase is ƭ (U+01AD). Keep case consistent in titles and sorting.

Fonts

Check font coverage

Some fonts lack Latin Extended-B glyphs. If you see a box or missing glyph, switch to a font with broader Unicode coverage.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01AC belongs in CSS. Numeric entities belong in HTML.

Semicolon

End references

Always finish with ; — write &#428;, not &#428.
