WHAT DOES OVERSCORE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Overline

An overline, overscore, or overbar, is a typographical feature of a horizontal line drawn immediately above the text. In mathematical notation an overline has been used for a long time and is known as vinculum. Another example use is to indicate Roman numerals multiplied by a thousand, or medieval sigla. Marking one or more words with a continuous line above the characters is also described as "overstriking". An overline, that is a single line above a chunk of text, may not be confused with macron, a diacritical mark placed above individual letters. The macron is narrower than the character box. Since ISO and Unicode assign names to characters in their unique fashion and often ignore the established typographical terminology, Unicode includes two characters U+00AF ¯ macron and U+203E ‾ overline that both look as kinds of an overlined space in most fonts, similar to a mirror‌ed underscore symbol. An overline proper can be encoded as a Unicode diacritic; see details below.
