Punctuation marks

A bar or stroke is a modification consisting of a line drawn through a grapheme. It may be used as a diacritic to derive new letters from old ones, or simply as an addition to make a grapheme more distinct from others.

A stroke is sometimes drawn through the numbers 7 and 0, to make them more distinguishable.

In phonetic transcription, a stroke through a letter often indicates that the sound is a fricative.

For the specific usages of various letters with bars and strokes, see their individual articles.

In Unicode, there are bars at U+007C | vertical line (not combining), U+2758 ❘ light vertical bar (not combining). Not to be confused with U+01C0 ǀ latin letter dental click (IPA character).
