| The circumflex comes from the Greek alphabet where it marked pitch. It was originally a combination of [[Natlang_Uses_of_Acute_Accent|acute]] and [[Natlang_Uses_of_Grave_Accent|grave accent]].[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumflex#Pitch] Note that the circumflex is easily confused with the similar looking [[Natlang_Uses_of_Inverted_Breve|inverted breve]] ◌̑.
