| | Māori Macron Characters |
 | | Marking long vowels with macrons is also used in Hawaiian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Livonian, and Marshallese; and in the romanization of Amharic (ethiopic), Arabic (perso-arabic), Assamese (assamese), Bengali (bengali), Chinese (sino-japanese), Gujarati, Hindi (devanagari), Japanese (sino-japanese), Kannada, Kazakh (cyrillic), Malayalam, Oriya, Pashto (perso-arabic), Persian (perso-arabic), Punjabi, Tamil (tamil), Telugu, and Urdu (perso-arabic). |
 | | Although a number of documents are printed in Māori without macrons, Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, The Māori Language Commission, recommends always using them as it makes pronounciation easier for learners. |
 | | To use macrons in Classic, OS 9, or non-Unicode Carbon applications, see this sub page. |
