Fullwidth Macron Letter

The fullwidth macron  ̄ is a fullwidth horizontal overline character used for typographic decoration and alignment.

U+FFE3

 ̄ (Fullwidth Macron) is a Unicode character with codepoint U+FFE3. It’s part of the fullwidth characters set, meaning it occupies a full-width text cell in many fonts. Use it when you need a wider overline-like mark that matches fullwidth typography.

Fullwidth Macron Letter Meaning

The symbol  ̄ is the “FULLWIDTH MACRON” (Unicode U+FFE3). Unlike the standard macron (¯), this version is fullwidth, so it’s commonly used in contexts that rely on fullwidth characters (for example, East Asian typography styles or UI layouts that expect full-width alignment). In practice, it can serve as a decorative overline, a visual separator, or a fixed-width mark for headings and labels. It does not have a uniquely established universal meaning across cultures the way some other symbols do; its primary value is typographic and layout-oriented. For exact representation, use the provided Unicode/HTML/CSS/JavaScript escapes below.
