U+033F "̿" Combining Double Overline Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
̿
U+033F "̿" Combining Double Overline is a diacritical mark used in digital text to place two parallel horizontal lines above a preceding base character, effectively creating a double overline that can serve various typographic and linguistic purposes. This combining character is often employed in mathematical notation or transcription systems to denote special phonetic or semantic distinctions, such as indicating a long vowel or a specific tone in certain romanization schemes. Unlike standalone symbols, it must be applied directly after the character it modifies, merging visually to form a single composite glyph that relies on proper font and rendering support for accurate display.
