A '''bar''' or '''stroke''' is a modification consisting of a line drawn through a [[grapheme]]. It may be used as a [[diacritic]] to derive new letters from old ones, or simply as an addition to make a grapheme more distinct from others.
A stroke is sometimes drawn through the numbers [[7 (number)|7]] and [[0 (number)|0]], to make them more distinguishable.
In [[phonetic transcription]], a stroke through a letter often indicates that the sound is a [[fricative consonant|fricative]].
