U+0200 "Ȁ" Latin Capital Letter A with Double Grave Unicode Character

U+0200 "Ȁ" Latin Capital Letter A with Double Grave is a typographic variant of the standard capital letter A used primarily in the phonetic transcription of certain languages, most notably in older or specialized dictionaries for Serbo-Croatian and Slovenian to indicate a long falling tone. It features a double grave accent, which consists of two small strokes slanting downward to the right, positioned above the letter. This character is distinct from the more common single grave accent (À) and is part of the Latin Extended-B block, serving as a precise linguistic tool to represent specific tonal or stress patterns rather than a standard element of everyday writing. While it is encoded in Unicode for digital representation, its use is confined to academic or linguistic contexts where accurate phonetic notation is required.
