1Use 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 "Ṽ">
<!ENTITY vtilde "ṽ">
Example usage:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd" [
<!ENTITY Vtilde "Ṽ">
<!ENTITY vtilde "ṽ">
]>
