I'm hoping someone can save me some time poking around tables of character sets. I'm trying to put Dvorak's name on a web page. I can do the accent over the 'a' without a problem, but I can't find the code for the 'r' with the circumflex over it. Does anyone know the hex code? Must I use a different character set? The page uses UTF-8.

Easiest route is to cheat: quick internet search for his name with the correct characters (Dvořák), paste and reformat into the required font. Bingo!

Thanks, Andrew.
Writing the html as I do in WordPad, this just produces a null character, not the accented 'ř' (simple cut-and-paste worked here, however). When hand-coding I normally need a numeric code (&#xxx) or a character name (eg "à").
But I was able to cut and paste from your text above in a less direct way. I saved this page and then opened it in WordPad, where I was able to cut-and-paste the source characters successfully from that file into my target page file. I can save the example and use it for future use. So, thank you for the text model that you provided.
Some browsers allow you to view the source code directly. I haven't found the menu choice for that in MS Edge.
I am still wondering, though, if there's a value I can use to place the character directly into the text source of the web page.

Try "rcaron" preceded by an "&" and followed by a ";" -- this is the the HTML entity for ř.

Perfect. Thanks.
Is there a table you use that includes this? It wasn't on several tables that I checked.

With a grave accent (back slash) the HTML code is à the HTML name is à
With an acute accent the HTML code is á the HTML name is á
Edit.
When I put the full codes in text the damn machine converted it back to the character. See the chart suggested.

Thanks! I like this one a lot. It's organized alphabetically instead of the usual ASCII order, so finding an alpha-numeric character is much easier.

In Windows, run charmap. I believe it has been in Windows since Win95.

Yes, I'd forgotten that it's still a Windows 10 Accessory.
Thanks for the reminder.
