editPrecomposed characters in Unicode:
Note that these Unicode characters are not canonically equivalent to the base letters plus ⟨◌̴⟩. The diacritic ⟨◌̴⟩ should therefore only be used when a precomposed character does not exist.
Beside the above, letters attested with an overstruck tilde include:[1]
- a̴ ɑ̴ β̴ C̴ c̴ ʗ̴ ꝺ̴ ð̴ ə̴ g̴ ɡ̴ h̴ i̴ ɪ̴ ɿ̴ j̴ k̴ ᶅ̴ ɭ̴ ɬ̴ ɮ̴ ʎ̴ o̴ ɸ̴ ʀ̴ ɽ̴ ʂ̴ ʃ̴ ʇ̴ ʧ̴ θ̴ ɰ̴ u̴ ʊ̴ v̴ ʋ̴ x̴ χ̴ ʒ̴ ʔ̴ ʖ̴ ʴ̴ 𐞩̴
Font support is poor to nonexistent.
A double overstruck tilde may be used to distinguish uvularized from velarized consonants. At least l (ꬸ), n and r are attested with a double overstruck tilde for uvularization.[1]
