How It Works
1. Hex:U+0214 → Ȕ in HTML. The browser turns it into Ȕ.
2. Decimal: same code point as 532 → Ȕ. Same result as hex.
3. CSS: use \0214 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ȕ after the paragraph text.
4. Typed / compare: paste Ȕ in UTF-8. Keep Ù (single grave) and Ű (double acute) as separate characters.
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with U+0214.
Named
No &U…; name
HTML5 has no named entity for U+0214. Use Ȕ or Ȕ — do not invent a name.
vs Ù
Not a single grave
Ù (Ù) has one grave accent. Ȕ needs two.
vs Ű
Not double acute
Ű (Ű) is Hungarian Ű. Double grave leans the other way and serves a different purpose.
vs ȕ
Case matters
Ȕ is capital. ȕ is lowercase. Use the matching code point for each case.
Encoding
Keep UTF-8 declared
Latin Extended-B letters display reliably with <meta charset="UTF-8">. Prefer numeric entities when encoding is uncertain.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0214 belongs in CSS strings. Ȕ / Ȕ belong in HTML.
A11y
Label notation use
When Ȕ appears in linguistic examples, label the purpose clearly so readers know it is a notation glyph, not everyday orthography.
