Usage

In the romanization of Japanese, a letter with macron represents a long vowel.[2]

  • For example, in the Hepburn romanization system
    • kōtsū (交通) means "traffic"
    • kotsu (骨) means "bone" or "knack"

In the written Hawaiian language, the kahakō is shown by a macron.[3]

In mathematics, a macron (or overline) is often placed above a symbol to refer to a complex conjugate,[4] a sample mean and a logical negation.[5]
