Hook above
's (Vietnamese–Portuguese–Latin dictionary) showing without its tittle and with both a hook and tittle.|class=skin-invert-image In typesetting, the hook above ( ) is a diacritic mark placed on top of vowels in the Vietnamese alphabet. In shape it looks like a tiny question mark without the dot underneath, or a tiny glottal stop . For example, a capital A with a hook is "Ả", and a lower case "u" with a hook is "ủ". The hook is usually written to the right of the circumflex in conventional Vietnamese orthography. If Vietnamese characters are unavailable, it is often replaced by a question mark after the vowel (VIQR encoding). This diacritic functions as a tone marker, indicating a "mid falling" tone ( ): which is "dipping" (˨˩˥) in Southern Vietnamese or "falling" (˧˩) in Northern Vietnamese; see Vietnamese language § Regional variation: Tones. The Southern "dipping" tone is similar to the questioning intonation in English. The hook above can be used as a tone marker, but is not regarded as part of the alphabet.
