The following appeal in French and in English is handed out with the hatchecks in Henri’s Restaurant, Lynbrook, Long Island, of which Henri Charpentier is the amiable owner. Evidently this is not a restaurant to be patronized by persons who refuse to mix hate with their cocktails. It might, however, serve as headquarters for certain “friends” of German Democracy.
For certain consonants normally represented with other diacritics (superposed “hatcheck,” subposed dot, bar) capitalization is used instead.
In other transcription systems…[ʃ], [ʒ], [tʃ], and [dʒ] are written with hatchecks: [š], [ž], [č], [ǰ].
Use hatcheck when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.
