"Combining macron below" '' (U+0331) is a
Unicode combining diacritical mark used in various orthographies; see the
precomposed characters
:
ḇ, á¸, ẖ, ḵ, ḻ, ṉ, ṟ.
Not to be confused are "
combining minus below"
(U+0320), "
combining low line" (U+0332) and "low line" ("
underscore") _ ). The difference between "macron below" and "low line" is that the latter will result in an unbroken underline when run together, compare
vs.
.
Note that the Unicode names of composed characters the
decomposition of which contains this character misleadingly has "line below" (not "macron below"), thus, ḇ "Latin small letter b with line below" decomposes to "Latin small letter b" and "combining macron below".
