This diacritic can easily be confused with low line. The difference is that the low line is longer, and should result in a single long line when used on several consecutive characters, while characters with macron below should have small gaps between the macrons. Precomposed characters with this diacritic have "line below" in their Unicode name, but it is in fact a macron below.[1]

Fricative consonant Arabic (Hans Wehr transliteration) ḏ /ð/, ḵ /x/, ṯ /θ/ ḵ replaced ḫ in the fourth edition of this transliteration scheme. Hans Wehr transliteration does not include capital letters.[2]
Palatal or palatalized consonant Ancient Egyptian (traditional transliteration) Ḏḏ /tʲʼ/ or /t͡ʃʼ/, H̱ẖ /ç/, Ṯṯ /tʲ/ or /t͡ʃ/ The pronunciation of Ancient Egyptian changed much during the millennia it was spoken, and the exact pronunciation can't be known for sure,[3] therefore the phonemic representation here might not be entirely accurate. Note that there is no precomposed form of uppercase H̱.
