AI overview

The circumflex is a curved accent mark placed above letters in writing systems based on Latin and Greek alphabets, used in many modern languages as well as in systems for writing non-Latin scripts. It gets its name from a Latin phrase meaning "bent around," which describes the shape of the mark itself.
