n. (l/en: háček)
Wikipedia
Caron or háček, is a diacritic ( ˇ ).
Caron may also refer to:
A caron or háček (; from Czech háček ) or mäkčeň (; from Slovak mäkčeň or ), also known as a wedge, inverted circumflex, inverted hat, is a diacritic ( ˇ ) placed over certain letters to indicate present or historical palatalization, iotation, or postalveolar pronunciation in the orthography of some Baltic, Slavic, Finnic, Samic, Berber and other languages. The caron also indicates the third tone (falling and then rising) in the Pinyin romanization of Mandarin Chinese.
It looks similar to a breve, but has a sharp tip, like an inverted circumflex (ˆ), while a breve is rounded.
Compare the caron:
:::* Ǎ ǎ Ě ě Ǐ ǐ Ǒ ǒ Ǔ ǔ to the breve:
:::* Ă ă Ĕ ĕ Ĭ ĭ Ŏ ŏ Ŭ ŭ
The left (downward) stroke is usually thicker than the right (upward) stroke in serif typefaces.
The caron is also used as a symbol or modifier in mathematics.
