Symbol

◌

  1. (typography) A placeholder representing the base glyph for combining diacritic marks.

Usage notes

A diacritic mark will be combined with this symbol to illustrate how it appears relative to a base letter, without requiring a base letter to actually be used. For example, the circumflex accent may be displayed as ⟨◌̂⟩, the Devanagari vowel sign ū as ⟨ ू⟩.

Synonyms
  • ⟨ـ⟩, commonly used to display vowel diacritics for Arabic
