Bar (diacritic)
The bar or stroke can be a diacritic mark, when used with some letters in the Latin or Cyrillic alphabets.
When characters have a stroke variant for one case and another kind of variations for the other case, both variants are shown. Letters used for only for phonetic transcription are lowercase only.
The characters here comprise all barred/stroked Latin or Cyrillic letter characters from Unicode 4.0.
An incomplete list of characters with a bar is below. A shaded box indicates that that case of the letter does not exist. A box spanning both columns indicates that the letter is caseless. (Not all characters with a bar may display in all browsers, depending on browser version, operating system, and available fonts.)
