U+035D "͝" Combining Double Breve Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
͝
U+035D "͝" Combining Double Breve is a diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription and some orthographies, primarily appearing in the Latin script. It consists of two small curved marks placed above a base letter, indicating a short or reduced vowel sound, as seen in certain romanization systems for languages like Arabic or in the International Phonetic Alphabet to denote extra-short length. This combining character does not stand alone but attaches to the preceding character to modify its pronunciation, and it belongs to the Unicode block "Combining Diacritical Marks," which provides standardized encoding for such textual modifiers.
