Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+FE4C "" Double Wavy Overline is a typographic symbol classified under the CJK Compatibility block, representing a decorative horizontal line composed of two parallel wavy strokes. Originally used in East Asian text formatting, particularly in Chinese and Japanese documents, it often served as an underline or overline for emphasis or annotation, analogous to a stylized version of the more common wavy overline. This character is part of a set of compatibility ideographic description symbols that were encoded to preserve the appearance of legacy character sets, though its use in modern digital text is rare, appearing mainly in historical or specialized contexts such as linguistic transcription or in the reproduction of older printed materials.
