Bar (diacritic)

A bar or stroke is a modification consisting of a line drawn through a grapheme. It may be used as a diacritic to derive new letters from old ones, or simply as an addition to make a grapheme more distinct from others. It can take the form of a vertical bar, slash, or crossbar.

A stroke is sometimes drawn through the numerals 7 (horizontal overbar) and 0 (overstruck foreslash), to make them more distinguishable from the number 1 and the letter O, respectively.

For the specific usages of various letters with bars and strokes, see their individual articles.

In Unicode, there are bars at U+0335 ◌̵ COMBINING SHORT STROKE OVERLAY, U+0336 ◌̶ COMBINING LONG STROKE OVERLAY, U+0337 ◌̷ COMBINING SHORT SOLIDUS OVERLAY, and U+0338 ◌̸ COMBINING LONG SOLIDUS OVERLAY.
