Diacritical mark

◌̉

  1. A diacritical mark of the Latin script, called dấu hỏi (asking mark) in Vietnamese, and found on /, /, /, /, /, /, /, /, /, /, / and /. Used to indicate mid falling-rising, harsh tone.

Usage notes

edit

In some dialects of Vietnamese, particularly Saigonese, the mid-rising, glottalized tone represented by ~ is conflated with the mid falling-rising, harsh tone. Therefore, speakers of Saigonese often use this tone mark in words that are spelled with ~ in standard written Vietnamese.

In Vietnamese handwriting and signmaking, the letter I/i retains its tittle.
