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