Wikipedia
A macron is a diacritical mark, a straight bar placed above a letter, usually a vowel. Its name derives from the Greek (makrón), meaning "long", and was originally used to mark long or heavy syllables in Greco-Roman metrics. It now more often marks a long vowel. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, the macron is used to indicate a mid- tone; the sign for a long vowel is instead a modified triangular colon .
The opposite is the breve , which marks a short or light syllable or a short vowel.
