This block consists of a number of
presentation form encodings that may be used to
visually encode certain
combining marks that apply to
multiple base
letterforms. These characters are intended to
facilitate the support of such
combining marks in
legacy applications.
Unlike other compatibility characters, these characters do not correspond to a single nominal character or a sequence of nominal characters; rather, a discontiguous sequence of these combining half marks corresponds to a single combining mark. The preferred forms are the double diacritics
U+0360 ͠ combining double tilde
and
U+0361 ͡ combining double inverted breve
Unicode's
Combining Half Marks code block reserves the
16 code points from U+FE20 to U+FE2F, of which
7 are currently assigned.
