A macron ( ¯ ), from the Greek μακρόν (makrón ), meaning "long", is a diacritic mark commonly placed above a single character or symbol (particularly vowels ).[1]
In the romanization of Japanese , a letter with macron represents a long vowel.[2]
For example, in the Hepburn romanization system
kōtsū (交通 ) means "traffic"
kotsu (骨 ) means "bone" or "knack" In the written Hawaiian language , the kahakō is shown by a macron.[3]
In mathematics, a macron (or overline) is often placed above a symbol to refer to a complex conjugate ,[4] a sample mean and a logical negation .[5]
