About this character

U+0340 (◌̀) is COMBINING GRAVE TONE MARK, a non-spacing combining mark in the Combining Diacritical Marks block. Its script is Inherited: it takes on the script of the character it attaches to. It was added in Unicode 1.1 (1993).

It is a canonical singleton: Unicode treats it as identical to U+0300 ◌̀, and every normalization form (NFC, NFD, NFKC, NFKD) replaces it with that character. Text that must round-trip exactly should avoid it. See the normalization guide.

As a combining mark it has no advance width of its own and attaches to the preceding base character. Type or paste the base letter first, then this mark. Its canonical combining class is 230 (Above), which normalization uses to order stacked marks. See combining diacritical marks.
