Definition

What Is Uppercase U Caron?

Uppercase U Caron (Ǔ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+01D3 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH CARON). HTML5 has no named entity — use hex or decimal. Use it for Pinyin third tone, romanization, and other Latin-script text that needs Ǔ.

Remember

Character     Ǔ
Unicode       U+01D3
Named entity  (none)
Hex entity    &#x01D3;
Decimal       &#467;
CSS escape    \01D3
Not the same  ǔ · U · &Ubreve; · &Ucirc;

Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ǔ. Prefer Ǔ or Ǔ in HTML markup. For the lowercase form see lowercase U caron; for U with breve see uppercase U breve.

Four ways to display Ǔ in HTML and CSS. No named entity exists.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase U Caron (Ǔ)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\01D3";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
  <p>Built with Hex: &#x01D3;</p>
  <p>Built with Decimal: &#467;</p>
  <p id="point">Built with CSS: </p>
  <p>Typed: Ǔ</p>
  <p lang="zh-Latn">Case pair: Ǔ / ǔ</p>
</body>
</html>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+01D3 → Ǔ or Ǔ. The browser turns either into Ǔ.

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

3. CSS: use \01D3 in content (four hex digits; not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ǔ after the paragraph text.

4. Case pair: lowercase is U+01D4 (ǔ) — see lowercase U caron. Neither case has a named entity.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Uppercase U Caron.

Named

There is no &Ucaron;

HTML5 does not define a named entity for U+01D3. Use Ǔ or Ǔ.

Plain U

Not the same as plain U

Plain U (U+0055) has no caron. Do not substitute it when Ǔ is required.

Caron ≠ breve

U+016C (Ŭ, &Ubreve;) uses a breve (˘), not a caron (ˇ). See uppercase U breve.

Not U with circumflex

U+00DB (Û, Û) uses a circumflex. See uppercase U circumflex.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed letter

Use U+01D3 instead of U + combining caron (U+030C) when the precomposed form is available.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01D3 belongs in CSS strings. Ǔ / Ǔ belong in HTML.

Compatibility

Browser Support

Uppercase U Caron (U+01D3) and its entity forms (Ǔ, Ǔ, CSS \\01D3) are supported in all mainstream browsers when the page is UTF-8 and the font covers Latin Extended-B.
