U+2E1A "" Hyphen with Diaeresis Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+2E1A "" Hyphen with Diaeresis is a rarely used punctuation mark that combines a hyphen with two dots (a diaeresis or umlaut) placed above it, designed to function as a specialized break or connection symbol in certain historical or technical texts. It was occasionally employed in older orthographies or linguistic notation to indicate a specific type of hyphenation or phonological separation where the diaeresis signals that the hyphenated element is pronounced distinctly or as a separate syllable. Despite its inclusion in the Unicode standard, this character has limited practical application in modern digital writing and is primarily of interest to scholars studying historical typography or obscure script systems.
