| CSS content | content: "\0140"; |
| JavaScript | "\u0140" |
| URL encoded | %C5%80 |

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 ŀ straight into the HTML. Entities are only needed when your editor or database cannot store the character.
Method 3: Watch for normalization
ŀ can also be written as l plus a combining mark. Both look the same but compare as different strings. In JavaScript, call str.normalize("NFC") before comparing or searching.
