The vinculum can be typed using the combining overline (U+0305) after the character that one wishes to add it to.

Famous quotes containing the words computer, entry and/or symbol:

—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)

—Sally Placksin (20th century)
“If we define a sign as an exact reference, it must include symbol because a symbol is an exact reference too. The difference seems to be that a sign is an exact reference to something definite and a symbol an exact reference to something indefinite.”
—William York Tindall (1903–1981)
