Source: Browser Default
U+035F "͟" Combining Double Macron Below is a diacritical mark used in linguistic notation to indicate that two characters beneath it form a digraph or a single phonetic unit, often appearing in transliterations of ancient or medieval texts. This combining mark is placed underneath a sequence of two letters, visually linking them together to signal they should be read as a combined sound, such as in some editions of Sanskrit or Old English manuscripts. It is not commonly used in modern standard writing, but serves a specialized function in scholarly works where precise orthographic or phonetic distinctions are necessary.
