˘
ℹ️ About
The Breve (˘) is a spacing modifier letter used to denote short vowels or specific tones in phonetic transcription. Unlike the combining breve (U+0306), this version is a standalone spacing character, meaning it occupies its own width in a line of text. It is frequently seen in classical linguistics and dictionaries.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ˇ (Caron/Háček U+02C7) or the ◌̆ (Combining Breve U+0306).
