U+0333 "̳" Combining Double Low Line Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
̳
U+0333 "̳" Combining Double Low Line is a combining diacritical mark that appears as two parallel horizontal lines placed beneath a base character, used in digital text to create a double underline effect for emphasis or specific notation in transliteration and linguistic contexts. It is part of the Combining Diacritical Marks block, meaning it does not stand alone but instead modifies the character it follows, attaching visually to the bottom of that character to indicate a distinct phonetic or orthographic quality. When applied, such as under the letter "o" to produce "o̳", it can represent a special vowel value or a stressed syllable in some scholarly transcriptions, though it is not commonly used in standard everyday writing.
