U+20E6 "⃦" Combining Double Vertical Stroke Overlay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+20E6 "⃦" Combining Double Vertical Stroke Overlay is a combining diacritical mark designed to be placed over a preceding base character, where it applies two parallel vertical lines through the center of that character as a visual overlay. This mark is rarely used in standard text and primarily serves specialized purposes, such as in linguistic or phonetic notation to indicate a specific modification or cancellation of a sound, or in cryptographic or medieval manuscript studies where it might denote deletion, correction, or emphasis. It belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks for Symbols block and is intended for use with a wide range of base glyphs, though its practical application remains niche and technical.
