U+20E5 "⃥" Combining Reverse Solidus Overlay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⃥
U+20E5 "⃥" Combining Reverse Solidus Overlay is a combining diacritical mark used to visually strike through or cancel a preceding character by overlaying it with a backslash symbol. It is primarily employed in linguistic notation, mathematical cancellation, or to indicate deletion in plain text environments where formatting is unavailable. When applied, it does not occupy its own space but attaches directly above or through the base character, allowing for clear visual editing without altering the underlying text's logical meaning.
