U+0360 "͠" Combining Double Tilde Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
͠
U+0360 "͠" Combining Double Tilde is a diacritical mark used in written language, primarily in ancient and medieval Greek textual traditions, where it is placed over vowels to indicate a circumflex accent or a musical pitch contour. This combining character is designed to be attached to the preceding letter, floating above it as a double tilde symbol, and it serves a specific phonological role rather than being used as a standalone punctuation mark. It belongs to the Unicode block of Combining Diacritical Marks, which allows it to interact seamlessly with base characters across different digital fonts and systems to preserve historical or technical orthographic accuracy.
