    Use this tool: https://mothereff.in/html-entities#%E1%B9%BC%0A%E1%B9%BD and enable the “allow named character references in output (incompatible with older browsers)” checkbox. This demonstrates that there are no such built-in named entities. Use a numerical variant, or [create your own as explained in Daniel’s answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/32744893/96656). – Mathias Bynens Sep 24 '15 at 12:46

I'm not sure if there are named entities for those characters. You can make your own though or just use either the hex (Ṽ and ṽ) or dec (Ṽ and ṽ) references.

Example of creating your own named entities:

<!ENTITY Vtilde "&#x1e7c;">
<!ENTITY vtilde "&#x1e7d;">

Example usage:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" [
<!ENTITY Vtilde "&#x1e7c;">
<!ENTITY vtilde "&#x1e7d;">
]>
<html>
    <head>
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <p>Here is the uppercase V with a tilde char: "&Vtilde;".</p> 
        <p>Here is the lowercase v with a tilde char: "&vtilde;".</p>
    </body>
