You can almost make the same weird circumflex by using combining diacritics. e, then inverted breve then circumflex. Doesn't seem to render properly with firefox at least --> ȇ̂ 172.70.114.241 14:20, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Is it possible to vertically stretch a character? A combination of a "regular" circumflex and a vertically-stretched circumflex might work. BunsenH (talk) 18:41, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

I think the circumflex is not an "A" but more of a split-and-stretched delta, or an arrowhead. Maybe show a zoom-in of the circumflex (obviously from the 2x image) in the explanation? 108.162.221.163 14:47, 13 May 2022 (UTC)Bumpf

Also, i noticed there are weird white dots past the corners of the border. They are even more visible in the 2x! 108.162.221.163 14:50, 13 May 2022 (UTC)Bumpf
A chevron, perchance? --172.68.50.15 14:52, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
