The inverted breve is also known as an arch. Note that it may easily be confused with circumflex ˆ. The inverted breve is not part of the orthography of any language, but it is used in linguistic materials about Serbian, Croatian and Slovene.[1] It was derived from the circumflex in Ancient Greek.[2]
