Notes

Some authors use circumflex and caron on single vowels instead of using doubled vowels with acute and grave. The ◌̩ U+0329 COMBINING VERTICAL LINE BELOW is sometimes used instead of the ◌̣ U+0323 COMBINING DOT BELOW for example “àwọn” instead of “àwọn”; technically U+0323 may look like a vertical line below instead, in some 20th century fonts the vertical line is used and sometimes even attached to the letter.
