Bar (diacritic)
*** Shopping-Tip: Bar (diacritic)
{{Diacritical marks}}
The '''bar''' or '''stroke''' can be a
diacritic mark, when used with some
grapheme letters in the
Latin alphabet Latin or
Cyrillic alphabets.
When characters have a stroke variant for one case and another kind of variations for the other case, both variants are shown. Letters used for only for phonetic transcription are lowercase only.
The characters here comprise all barred/stroked Latin or Cyrillic letter characters from
Unicode 4.0.
An incomplete list of characters with a bar is below. A shaded box takes the place of letters that do not exist. A box spanning both columns indicates that the letter is caseless. (Not all characters with a bar may display in all
web browser browsers, depending on browser version,
operating system and available
typeface fonts. In each cell, the first character is in your browser's default font, the second in a Unicode-enabled font, if installed on your computer.)
