Latin Capital Letter R With Line Below Letter Meaning
Ṟ (U+1E5E) is a Latin Extended uppercase “R” that includes a horizontal line below the letter. Visually, it resembles an added diacritic mark attached to the capital R, which can be important for representing language-specific orthography, transcription conventions, or specialized typographic styling. In practice, people most often use it when a plain “R” would not match the required form, such as in character sets for certain scholarly or regional writing systems, or when matching an existing document’s exact characters. For web and apps, it’s best handled via the actual Unicode character so it renders consistently.
