RfV for the typographic sense = háček, caron. It has been listed as a synonym in our entry for (deprecated template usage) háček since I added it in December 2007, when I added it from the list of alternative names given in w:Caron ((deprecated template usage) wedge was added to (deprecated template usage) háček, (deprecated template usage) caron, (deprecated template usage) inverted circumflex, and (deprecated template usage) inverted hat by an anonymous editor in April 2006); I added this sense to (deprecated template usage) wedge just now, so as to open this verification request for it. — Raifʻhār Doremítzwr ~ (U · T · C) ~ 19:50, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
