Is this for real? Or is it vandalism? See the red link in the "Usage" section of the article. Agent X 12:16, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Is there a good reason why one of the letters is in red? I searched for red and it doesn't appear. 84.9.54.175 ( talk) 22:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
I have removed the statement that with DŽ in Slovak, capitalization of both D and Ž is preferable. Cf. [1], [2], it was incorrect. When it's freestanding, yes, but not when it is a part of a word. Can a native speaker give a definitive answer? rdancer ( talk) 03:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
In my large atlas, the form of the caron in ď/ľ/ť is not an apostrophe, but identical to the horn on Vietnamese ơ/ư. Is this common? 212.137.63.86 ( talk) 11:23, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Can anyone provide a pronunciation (in English) for caron?
I could not find the word on a free dictionary site. Or even in the online version of the Merriam-Webster Unabridged Dictionary. Charletan ( talk) 04:17, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
Xi (Ѯ, ѯ) is a letter of the early Cyrillic alphabet. It have a caron.-- Юе Артеміс ( talk) 22:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
I first thought it could not be produced by its own, but noticed that the "Diacritics" list below the grey box has it. Is it only forgotten to put there, or is there some other reason? 85.217.42.90 ( talk) 10:52, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
So, it seems to work in IE & FF 23, and not in FF 22 and Google Chrome. 85.217.42.90 ( talk) 21:32, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
Currently works in Chrome. 212.50.203.198 ( talk) 05:19, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
There is no source for why the use of the characters are used inconsistently. I also doubt if it's true. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Littleowljrn ( talk • contribs) 18:28, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
This edit is highly biased. Both "caron" and "hacek" are understood by certain groups of English speakers to mean this symbol, so neither is inaccurate. References are not for editorializing; I personally think the problems with "wedge" should be clear to the English-speaking reader.
"Its earliest known use was in the United States Government Printing Office Style Manual of 1967, for an unrelated mark with same shape." is false. You can check the source at the Internet Archive, and given that it comes after acute, grave, tilde, circumflex, macron, breve, diaeresis, cedilla, and caret, it seems quite likely to be exactly what is now called "caron". Statements like "Though considered “standardese,”" violate WP:MOSWTW, the Manual of Style. Particular sources that call it "standardese" can be cited, but it's certainly not universally considered such. (While I'm at the MoS, MOS:CURLY calls for straight quotes, not curly quotes.-- Prosfilaes ( talk) 09:51, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
When previewing the page caron from another Wikipedia page, it shows an image of a Phoenician sin Phoenician_sin.png instead of a caron image. Maybe someone knows how to fix that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ninjamin ( talk • contribs) 08:59, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
The lead para begins with this statement:
A caron (/ˈkærən/), háček or haček (/ˈhɑːtʃɛk/ or /ˈheɪtʃɛk/; plural háčeks or háčky) also known as a hachek, wedge, …
Taking all these points into account, the lead para would begin thus:
A caron (/ˈkærən/), hacek (/ˈhɑːtʃɛk/ or /ˈheɪtʃɛk/; plural haceks) also known as a hachek, wedge, …

The result of the move request was: not moved Kadzi ( talk) 08:01, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
– English language does not use diacritics ( Macron → Macron (diacritic) at Talk:Macron (diacritic)#Requested move 7 May 2017) and, in the English-speaking world, the likeliest WP:PRIMARYTOPIC would be Caron (name) which lists 12 people with the surname Caron and three people with the given name Caron. There is a total of six entries listed upon the Caron (disambiguation) page and it seems unlikely that, in English Wikipedia, a diacritic would possess renown sufficient to overwhelm the combined notability of five other topics. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 07:19, 19 April 2022 (UTC)
