In HTML use &# before decimal value, e.g. diĝir for diĝir. Please note that the initial zero is optional. Some characters (with breves or dots such as ḫ, ṣ, ṭ) are typographically incompatible with non Arial style fonts. If any other font family such as Times New Roman is used, using variants with cedillas (ţ, ş) is recommended.
Compare Arial: işşabat, iṣṣabat vs. Times New Roman: işşabat, iṣṣabat
