The breve diacritic above the letter indicates a short or extra-brief pronunciation, and this character is paired with its lowercase counterpart, "ӗ" (U+04D7), to form the complete letter pair for writing Chuvash orthography, where it appears frequently in words and place names to differentiate phonetic meaning.
