Caron

A caron (/ˈkærən/) or háček (/ˈhɑːtʃɛk/; from Czech háček [ˈɦaːtʃɛk]) or mäkčeň (/ˈmæktʃɛn/; from Slovak mäkčeň [ˈmɛktʃɛɲ] or [ˈmæktʃɛɲ]), also known as a wedge, inverted circumflex, inverted hat, is a diacritic ( ˇ ) placed over certain letters to indicate present or historical palatalization, iotation, or postalveolar pronunciation in the orthography of some Baltic, Slavic, Finnic, Samic, Berber and other languages. The caron also indicates the third tone (falling and then rising) in the Pinyin romanization of Mandarin Chinese.

It looks similar to a breve, but has a sharp tip, like an inverted circumflex (ˆ), while a breve is rounded. Compare the caron: Ǎ ǎ Ě ě Ǐ ǐ Ǒ ǒ Ǔ ǔ to the breve: Ă ă Ĕ ĕ Ĭ ĭ Ŏ ŏ Ŭ ŭ.

The left (downward) stroke is usually thicker than the right (upward) stroke in serif typefaces.

The caron is also used as a symbol or modifier in mathematics.

Names

Different disciplines generally call this diacritic by different names. Typography tends to use the term caron. Linguistics more often uses haček (with no long mark), largely due to the influence of the Prague School (particularly on Structuralist linguists who subsequently developed alphabets for previously unwritten languages of the Americas). Pullum's and Ladusaw's Phonetic Symbol Guide (Chicago, 1996) uses the term wedge.

    Lead The Parade

    by: Korn

    Lost and alone
    I'm out of the stone
    Could be this process everyday
    Nothings my own
    The dreams that I've grown
    I won't control and throw away
    I need to make the decisions
    I need to make it right
    I need to lead the parade
    Or this shit will fucking take my life
    I want to kill the decisions
    I want to make it right
    I want to pass this test
    And complete my tormented life
    This curse is my own
    It follows me home
    Its like a child that wants to play
    The thoughts in my brain
    The subconscious pain
    Makes me think why do I stay
    I need to make the decision
    I need make it right
    I need to lead the parade
    Or this shit will take my life
    I want to kill the decisions
    I want to make it right
    I want to pass this test
    And complete my tormented life
    I want to kill the decisions
    I want it to be right
    I want to pass my test
    And complete this tormented life
    Happy, everything was wonderful
    So happy, it's beautiful
    I need to make the decision
    I need to make it right
    I want to kill the decisions
    I want to make it right
    I want to pass this test
    And complete my tormented life
    I want to kill the decisions
    I want to make it right
    I want to pass this test
    And complete my tormented life
    I'm happy, I knew you'd make it right
