Creaky voice Vietnamese Ạạ /a̰ːʔ˨˩/, Ặặ /a̰ʔ˨˩/, Ậậ /ə̰ʔ˨˩/, Ẹẹ /ɛ̰ʔ˨˩/, Ệệ /ḛʔ˨˩/, Ịị /ḭʔ˨˩/, Ọọ /ɔ̰ʔ˨˩/, Ộộ /o̰ʔ˨˩/, Ợợ /ə̰ːʔ˨˩/, Ụụ /ṵʔ˨˩/, Ựự /ɨ̰ʔ˨˩/, Ỵỵ /ḭʔ˨˩/ The dot below stands for low falling tone with creaky voice and a following glottal stop.[1] There are many exceptions to the phonemic values of these letters though.[2]
Disambiguation in transliteration Amharic (BGN/PCGN 1967 transliteration) Ḥḥ /h/ The Geʽez script has four types of characters all pronounced /h/ in Amharic due to sounds mergers. These may be transliterated with Hh, Ḥḥ, Ḫḫ resp. H̱ẖ, though the diacritics may be dropped.[3]
Emphatic consonant Akkadian (DMG-umschrift transliteration) Ṣṣ /sʼ/, Ṭṭ /tʼ/ Because Akkadian is an extinct language, the exact pronunciation can't be known for sure;[4] so the phonemic representation here might not be entirely accurate.
Ancient Egyptian (traditional transliteration) Ḥḥ /ħ/, Ḳḳ /qʼ/ The pronunciation of Ancient Egyptian changed much during the millennia it was spoken, and the exact pronunciation can't be known for sure,[5] therefore the phonemic representation here might not be entirely accurate. Qq may be used as an alternative to Ḳḳ.[6]
Arabic (DIN 31635 romanization, ISO 233 romanization, ISO/R 233 romanization) Ḍḍ /dˤ/, Ḥḥ /ħ/, Ṣṣ /sˤ/, Ṭṭ /tˤ/, Ẓẓ /ðˤ~zˤ/
Arabic (Hans Wehr romanization) ḍ /dˤ/, ḥ /ħ/, ṣ /sˤ/, ṭ /tˤ/, ẓ /ðˤ~zˤ/ This romanization does not include capital letters.[7]
Lowered vowel with retracted tongue root Yoruba (Crowther's alphabet) Ẹẹ /ɛ̙/, Ọọ /ɔ̙/ These letters were used in older forms of Yoruba orthography. See Vertical Line Below.
Raised vowel Slovene (orthography with tonal accentuation) Ẹẹ /e/, Ẹ́ẹ́ /éː/, Ẹ̀ẹ̀ /é/, Ẹ̏ẹ̏ /è/, Ẹ̑ẹ̑ or Ệệ /èː/, Ọọ /o/, Ọ́ọ́ /óː/, Ọ̀ọ̀ /ó/, Ọ̏ọ̏ /ò/, Ọ̑ọ̑ or Ộộ /òː/ These letters are not used in the standard orthography of Slovene, but in language materials.[8]
Syllabic consonant Heiltsuk-Oowekyala (Heiltsuk dialect, official orthography and Rath's orthography) Ṃṃ /m̩/, Ṃ́ṃ́ /ḿ̩/, Ṃ̓ṃ̓ /m̩ˀ/, Ṇṇ /n̩/, Ṇ́ṇ́ /ń̩/, Ṇ̓ṇ̓ /n̩ˀ/, Ḷḷ /l̩/, Ḷ́ḷ́ /ĺ̩/, Ḷ̓ḷ̓ /l̩ˀ/
Other ISO 15919 romanization of Indic scripts Ṇṇ /ɳ/ Ṇṇ is used for transcribing the Indic diacritic anusvāra before retroflex consonants.[9]

(See also Breve for another marking of accentless syllables in Inng.) Some of these accented letters only appear as part of a digraph when representing a certain sound.[10]

The lower case version of G̣, J̣ and P̣ are ġ, ȷ̈ and ṗ respectively. Note that F̣f̣, G̣, J̣, P̣ are not precomposed characters.
