Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+1EA7 "" Latin Small Letter A with Circumflex and Grave is a precomposed Vietnamese diacritic letter that combines a base lowercase "a" with both a circumflex accent (^) placed over the letter and a grave accent (`) also applied above it, resulting in a complex glyph used to represent a specific low-falling tone in the Vietnamese language. This character is part of the Latin Extended Additional block and is primarily employed in the Vietnamese alphabet to distinguish the tonal pronunciation of the vowel "â", where the circumflex denotes a shortened or different vowel quality and the grave indicates a falling pitch contour. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation and rendering of Vietnamese text, particularly in contexts where accurate tonal marking is essential for meaning and communication.
