Ď on HTML: Ď

Or copy it:

Method 1: Codes for web pages

Format	Code for ď
Decimal entity	`ď`
Hex entity	`ď`
CSS content	`content: "\010F";`
JavaScript	`"\u010F"`
URL encoded	`%C4%8F`
UTF-8 bytes	`C4 8F`

Method 2: Type it directly with UTF-8

If your page starts with <meta charset="utf-8"> and the file is saved as UTF-8, you can paste ď straight into the HTML. Entities are only needed when your editor or database cannot store the character.

Method 3: Watch for normalization

ď can also be written as d plus a combining mark. Both look the same but compare as different strings. In JavaScript, call str.normalize("NFC") before comparing or searching.

About the letter ď

ď is Unicode U+010F, named LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH CARON. It is used in Czech and Slovak. A small v above a letter, called háček in Czech and kvačica in Croatian. It softens consonants (č, š, ž, ř) and marks the third tone in Pinyin (ǎ, ǐ). See the ď character page for every code and shortcut.

Troubleshooting

If you see Ã and other symbols, the file is UTF-8 but the browser reads it as Windows-1252. Add the meta charset tag.
Named entities are case sensitive: É and é are different letters.
In XML and XHTML only five named entities exist, so use numeric codes there.
