使用する際の注意点

• The shape suggested by hat is too vague to allow inverted hat the specificity to distinguish between a háček ( ˇ ) and a breve ( ˘ ). The term inverted circumflex avoids this problem, as it can refer to a háček (( ˆ ) → ( ˇ )), but never to a breve. The term’s ambiguousness is demonstrated in its two senses’ shared quotation (dated November 2002), where it occurs twice within the same sentence, first to refer to háčky, and then to a breve.
