Usage[edit]
Assists in adding traditional Chinese tone marks (see the entry on four tones on Wikipedia). Although they are encoded in Unicode, font support is uncommon. The Unicode characters are used as alt text.
In this template, there is also another series which is not present in Unicode, in which the line appears above the tone marks. They have been emulated using Unicode characters.
