An overline , overscore , or overbar , is a typographical feature of a horizontal line drawn immediately above the text. In old mathematical notation , an overline was called a vinculum , a notation for grouping symbols which is expressed in modern notation by parentheses, though it persists for symbols under a radical sign. The original use in Ancient Greek was to indicate compositions of Greek letters as Greek numerals . In Latin, it indicates Roman numerals multiplied by a thousand and it forms medieval abbreviations ( sigla ). Marking one or more words with a continuous line above the characters is sometimes called overstriking , though overstriking generally refers to printing one character on top of an already-printed character.

In crystallography , an overline indicates an improper rotation or a negative number : In computational neuroscience , an overline is used to indicate the "maximal" conductances in Hodgkin-Huxley models . This goes back to at least

160-643: A double-bar (or double-prime) to represent phrasal-level units. X-bar theory derives its name from the overbar. One of the core proposals of the theory was the creation of an intermediate syntactic node between phrasal (XP) and unit (X) levels; rather than introduce a different label, the intermediate unit was marked with a bar. In HTML using CSS , overline is implemented via the text-decoration property; for example, <span style="text-decoration: overline">text</span> results in: text . The text decoration property supports also other typographical features with horizontal lines: underline (a line below

The field code {EQ \O(x,¯)} produces x and the field code {EQ \O(xyz,¯¯¯)} produces xyz ; However this does not work in Word on Android, ChromeOS, iPadOS, or Word for the web. In Word 2010 it is necessary to insert an MS Equation object. Overstriking of longer sections of text, such as in 123 , can also be produced in many text processors as text markup as

280-707: A modifier key to type letters with diacritical marks. For example, alt + a = ā. How this is set up varies by operating system. Linux/Unix and BSD desktop environments allow one to set up custom keyboard layouts and switch them by clicking a flag icon in the menu bar. macOS One can use the pre-installed US International keyboard, or install Toshiya Unebe's Easy Unicode keyboard layout. Microsoft Windows Windows also allows one to change keyboard layouts and set up additional custom keyboard mappings for IAST. This Pali keyboard installer made by Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator (MSKLC) supports IAST (works on Microsoft Windows up to at least version 10, can use Alt button on

320-406: A reversal of its official name (and compatibility decomposition), it is much wider than an actual macron diacritic over most letters, and actually wider than U+203E ‾ OVERLINE in most fonts. In ChromeOS and Linux , the symbol can be added using the keystrokes Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + U to activate Unicode input , then type "00AF" as the code for the character. On a Mac , with

360-632: A single line above a chunk of text, should not be confused with the macron , a diacritical mark placed above (or sometimes below) individual letters. The macron is narrower than the character box. In most forms of Latin scribal abbreviation , an overline or macron indicates omitted letters similar to use of apostrophes in English contractions. Letters with macrons or overlines continue to be used in medical abbreviations in various European languages, particularly for prescriptions . Common examples include Note, however, that abbreviations involving

480-684: Is based on a scheme that emerged during the 19th century from suggestions by Charles Trevelyan , William Jones , Monier Monier-Williams and other scholars, and formalised by the Transliteration Committee of the Geneva Oriental Congress , in September 1894. IAST makes it possible for the reader to read the Indic text unambiguously, exactly as if it were in the original Indic script. It is this faithfulness to

520-534: Is designated by an overline, e.g. RESET , representing logical negation . Overlining is also used in graphics design for decoration of text to help convey a message. Some Morse code prosigns can be expressed as two or three characters run together, and an overline is often used to signify this. The most famous is the distress signal , SOS . An overline-like symbol is traditionally used in Syriac text to mark abbreviations and numbers. It has dots at each end and

It

720-763: The ISO 15919 standard for transliterating Indic scripts emerged in 2001 from the standards and library worlds. For the most part, ISO 15919 follows the IAST scheme, departing from it only in minor ways (e.g., ṃ/ṁ and ṛ/r̥)—see comparison below. The Indian National Library at Kolkata romanization , intended for the romanisation of all Indic scripts , is an extension of IAST. The IAST letters are listed with their Devanagari equivalents and phonetic values in IPA , valid for Sanskrit , Hindi and other modern languages that use Devanagari script, but some phonological changes have occurred: * H

760-431: The equivalence class of the integer a , denoted by a n , is the set {... , a − 2 n , a − n , a , a + n , a + 2 n , ... }. This set, consisting of all the integers congruent to a  modulo  n , is called the congruence class , residue class , or simply residue of the integer a modulo  n . When the modulus n is known from the context, that residue may also be denoted [

When Morse code is written out as text, overlines are used to distinguish prosigns and other concatenated character groups from strings of individual characters. In Arabic writing and printing , overlines are traditionally used instead of underlines for typographic emphasis , although underlines are used more and more due to

920-536: The consumer edition since XP. This is limited to characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). Characters are searchable by Unicode character name, and the table can be limited to a particular code block. More advanced third-party tools of the same type are also available (a notable freeware example is BabelMap ). macOS provides a "character palette" with much the same functionality, along with searching by related characters, glyph tables in

960-528: The diacritics used for IAST allow capitalisation of proper names. The capital variants of letters never occurring word-initially ( Ṇ Ṅ Ñ Ṝ Ḹ ) are useful only when writing in all-caps and in Pāṇini contexts for which the convention is to typeset the IT sounds as capital letters. For the most part, IAST is a subset of ISO 15919 that merges the retroflex (underdotted) liquids with the vocalic ones ( ringed below ) and

Despite the name, Unicode maps this character to both U+203E and U+00AF. Unicode maps the overline-like character from ISO/IEC 8859-1 and code page 850 to the U+00AF ¯ MACRON symbol mentioned above. In

1040-489: The integral part of a number from its fractional part , as in 9 9 95 (meaning 99.95 in decimal point format). A similar notation remains in common use as an underbar to superscript digits, especially for monetary values without a decimal separator, as in 99 . In mathematics, an overline can be used as a vinculum . The vinculum can indicate a line segment : A B ¯ {\displaystyle {\overline {\rm {AB}}}} The vinculum can indicate

1080-437: The landmark paper published by Nobel prize winners Alan Lloyd Hodgkin and Andrew Fielding Huxley around 1952. Overlines are used in subatomic particle physics to denote antiparticles for some particles (with the alternate being distinguishing based on electric charge). For example, the proton is denoted as p , and its corresponding antiparticle is denoted as p . An active low signal

As with any combining character , it appears in the same character box as the character that logically precedes it: for example, x̅, compared to x‾. A series of overlined characters, for example 1̅2̅3̅, may result either in a broken or an unbroken line, depending on

1160-523: The letter h take their macron halfway up the ascending line rather than at the normal height for Unicode overlines and macrons: ħ . This is separately encoded in Unicode with the symbols using bar diacritics and appears shorter than other overlines in many fonts. In the Middle Ages , from the original Indian decimal writing , before printing, an overline over the units digit was used to separate

1200-417: The mantissa remains positive. This notation avoids the need for separate tables to convert positive and negative logarithms back to their original numbers. The overline notation can indicate a complex conjugate and analogous operations. In physics, an overline sometimes indicates a vector , although boldface and arrows are also commonly used: Congruence modulo n is an equivalence relation , and

Scholars commonly use IAST in publications that cite textual material in Sanskrit, Pāḷi and other classical Indian languages. IAST is also used for major e-text repositories such as SARIT, Muktabodha, GRETIL, and sanskritdocuments.org. The IAST scheme represents more than a century of scholarly usage in books and journals on classical Indian studies. By contrast,
