Combining Double Vertical Line Above

Put the base letter first, then U+030E. In a̎, the mark follows a and is drawn above it.

Because U+030E has no spacing of its own, an isolated mark inserted after other text can attach to the preceding character.

Its reading comes from the writing system

In Marshallese old orthography, U+030E appears in spellings such as G̎, L̎, N̎, and R̎. This orthography belongs to a missionary-era Roman writing tradition used to record Marshallese and translate the Bible; later spelling reforms produced newer standards.

In Ethiopic scholarly or teaching texts, U+030E is occasionally used for emphasis or consonant doubling.
