What Is Uppercase U Diaeresis Acute?

Uppercase U Diaeresis Acute (Ǘ) is the Latin Extended-B character at Unicode U+01D7 (LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS AND ACUTE). HTML5 has no named entity — use hex or decimal. Use it for Hanyu Pinyin second-tone ü in capitals and other Latin-script text that needs Ǘ.

Remember
Character     Ǘ
Unicode       U+01D7
Named entity  (none)
Hex entity    Ǘ
Decimal       Ǘ
CSS escape    \01D7
Not the same  ǘ · Ü · Ú · Ǚ

Hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ǘ. Prefer Ǘ or Ǘ in HTML markup. For the lowercase form see lowercase U diaeresis acute; for plain umlaut see uppercase U umlaut.

Hex + Decimal + CSS + Typed

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

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <title>Uppercase U Diaeresis Acute (Ǘ)</title>
  <style>
    #point::after {
      content: "\01D7";
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>

  <p>Typed: Ǘ</p>
  <p lang="zh-Latn">Case pair: Ǘ / ǘ</p>

Try It Yourself

How It Works

1. Hex / decimal: U+01D7 → &#x01D7; or &#471;. The browser turns either into Ǘ.

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

3. CSS: use \01D7 in content (four hex digits; not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ǘ after the paragraph text.

4. Case pair: lowercase is U+01D8 (ǘ) — see lowercase U diaeresis acute. Neither case has a named entity.

Pitfalls & Tips

Common mistakes when working with Uppercase U Diaeresis Acute.

Named

There is no named entity

HTML5 does not define a name for U+01D7. Use &#x01D7; or &#471;.

Ü

Not plain U umlaut

U+00DC (Ü, &Uuml;) has diaeresis only — no acute. See uppercase U umlaut.

Ú

Not plain U acute

U+00DA (Ú, &Uacute;) has acute only — no diaeresis. See uppercase U acute.

Tone

Acute ≠ caron for Pinyin tones

Second tone uses acute (U+01D7). Third tone uses caron (U+01D9). See uppercase U diaeresis caron.

Combining

Prefer the precomposed letter

Use U+01D7 instead of stacking combining marks on U or Ü when the precomposed form is available.

CSS vs HTML

Do not mix escapes

\01D7 belongs in CSS strings. &#x01D7; / &#471; belong in HTML.

Browser Support

Uppercase U Diaeresis Acute (U+01D7) and its entity forms (&#x01D7;, &#471;, CSS \\01D7) are supported in all mainstream browsers when the page is UTF-8 and the font covers Latin Extended-B.

✓ Universal support

Bottom line: Prefer &#x01D7; in HTML text. Use &#471; as an equivalent, and \\01D7 only inside CSS content. Glyph display depends on font coverage.

Key Takeaways

  • Unicode: this letter is U+01D7 (decimal 471) — glyph Ǘ.
  • HTML: prefer &#x01D7; — also &#471;. No named entity.
  • CSS: use \01D7 inside content for generated text.
  • Watch out: Ǘ ≠ Ü ≠ Ú ≠ Ǚ ≠ ǘ.

One line: U+01D7 → &#x01D7; / &#471; / CSS \01D7 (no named entity).
