Macron below is a combining diacritical mark that is used in various orthographies.cite-ref-u0300-1-0[1]
A non-combining form is U+02CD ห MODIFIER LETTER LOW MACRON. It is not to be confused with U+0320 โฬ COMBINING MINUS SIGN BELOW, U+0332 โฬฒ COMBINING LOW LINE and U+005F _ LOW LINE. The difference between "macron below" and "low line" is that the latter results in an unbroken underline when it is run together: compare aฬฑแธcฬฑ and aฬฒbฬฒcฬฒ (only the latter should look like abc).cite-ref-2[2]

Note that the Unicode character names of precomposed characters whose decompositions contain U+0331 โฬฑ COMBINING MACRON BELOW use "WITH LINE BELOW" rather than "WITH MACRON BELOW". Thus, U+1E07 แธ LATIN SMALL LETTER B WITH LINE BELOW decomposes to U+0062 b LATIN SMALL LETTER B and U+0331 โฬฑ COMBINING MACRON BELOW.cite-ref-3[3]
The Vietnamese ฤแปng currency sign resembles a lower case d with a stroke and macron below: U+20AB โซ DONG SIGN but is neither a letter nor decomposable.cite-ref-4[4]

The overscoring characters also must be distinguished from U+0304 COMBINING MACRON, which does not connect horizontally in this way.
