U+0335 "̵" Combining Short Stroke Overlay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
̵
U+0335 "̵" Combining Short Stroke Overlay is a combining diacritical mark that, when placed after a base character, draws a short horizontal line across the middle of that character, effectively creating a strikethrough effect for individual letters or digits. It belongs to the "Combining Diacritical Marks" block and is typically used in linguistic notation or typographic formatting to indicate deletion, cancellation, or a phonetic alteration such as devoicing. Unlike the standard long strikethrough, this overlay is intentionally short, usually spanning only the width of the base glyph, and it requires proper rendering support from the font to be correctly positioned above or through the character it modifies.
