U+20D2 "⃒" Combining Long Vertical Line Overlay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⃒
U+20D2 "⃒" Combining Long Vertical Line Overlay is a diacritical mark that is placed over a preceding base character to draw a vertical line through it, functioning as a combining character in text rendering. This overlay is often used in linguistic or phonetic notation to indicate a modification of the base symbol, such as in representing certain sounds with a strikethrough effect, though its application can vary across specialized scripts or annotation systems. As part of the Combining Diacritical Marks block, it does not occupy its own space but instead modifies the visual appearance of the character it follows, requiring proper font and software support to display correctly.
