U+2E1E "⸞" Tilde with Dot Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2E1E "⸞" Tilde with Dot Above is a specialized punctuation mark included in the Supplemental Punctuation block, designed for use in historical and linguistic texts to indicate a specific phonetic or orthographic modification. This character combines a standard tilde (∼) with a single dot positioned directly above it, creating a diacritical symbol that appears in certain medieval scribal traditions or early printed works. Its primary function is to denote a nasalized or modified vowel sound in transcriptions of old manuscripts, particularly where a tilde alone might be ambiguous. While rarely used in modern writing, it remains important for accurate digital representation of historical documents and scholarly editions requiring precise character encoding.
