U+0337 "̷" Combining Short Solidus Overlay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
̷
U+0337 "̷" Combining Short Solidus Overlay is a diacritical mark designed to be placed over a preceding character, creating the visual effect of a short slanted line or strike-through. This glyph is commonly used in linguistic transcription, such as to indicate a specific phonetic modification or voiceless articulation, and also appears in specialized text formatting for purposes like denoting cancellation or negation without relying on full strikethrough styling. When combined with a base letter, the overlay sits at an angle to partially obscure the character, making it a precise tool for notational systems that require compact symbolic alterations.
