U+035B "͛" Combining Zigzag Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
͛
U+035B "͛" Combining Zigzag Above is a diacritical mark designed for placement directly over a base character, modifying its phonetic or semantic value in certain writing systems. Primarily used in historical and liturgical contexts, such as representing specific tones or articulations in ancient Greek or medieval Latin manuscripts, this combining mark appears as a small, two-peaked zigzag line. It serves to indicate a specialized pronunciation or rhythmic nuance, and its encoding in Unicode ensures that scholars and digital typographers can accurately represent and reproduce such textual features in modern electronic documents.
