U+FE22 "︢" Combining Double Tilde Left Half Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
︢
U+FE22 "︢" Combining Double Tilde Left Half is a diacritical mark used in historical and scholarly text encoding, particularly for representing a half of a double tilde that appears above or attached to a base character in certain medieval and phonetic scripts. It belongs to the Combining Half Marks block and is designed to be combined with other half marks, such as its right counterpart U+FE23, to form a complete double tilde over a character, or to indicate a specific type of nasalization or vowel modification in Latin-based transliterations of ancient manuscripts. This character is not intended for modern writing but serves specialized purposes in digital typography for academic and linguistic documentation.
