U+1EB5 "ẵ" Latin Small Letter A with Breve and Tilde is a composite glyph used primarily in the Vietnamese alphabet to represent a specific tonal variant of the vowel /a/. It combines a base Latin lowercase 'a' with a breve (˘) above it, which indicates a short or clipped vowel sound, and a tilde (˜) on top of the breve, which marks the ngã tone, a mid-rising, creaky or glottalized tone in Vietnamese. This character is part of the Latin Extended Additional block and is essential for accurately writing and rendering certain Vietnamese words, such as "ẵm" meaning to carry in the arms or "hẵng" meaning yet or still.
