BAR (DIACRITIC)

A 'bar' or 'stroke' is a modification consisting of a line drawn through a grapheme. It may be used as a diacritic to derive new letters from old ones, or simply as an addition to make a grapheme more distinct from others.
A stroke is sometimes drawn through the numbers 7 and 0 (number), to make them more distinguishable.
In phonetic transcription, a stroke through a letter often indicates that the sound is a fricative.
For the specific usages of various letters with bars and strokes, see their individual articles:
