The diacritic is called "tina". Notice how 3 tinas is ''approximately'' equal to one mina, so the system just equates the 3. Either way, this is an ''insane'' level of pitch precision, down to less than tenths of a cent. The "i/o" diacritic is merely a dot and represents some fraction of a tina, often a half, but it is left arbitrary intentionally.<ref name=":0" />
The average unit interval is called a tina (rhymes with ballerina) and is approximately 0.14 of a cent. The new shapes are called "horn" and "wedge". Notice how 3 tinas is ''approximately'' equal to one mina, so the system just equates the 3. Either way, this is an ''insane'' level of pitch precision. The "i/o" diacritic, whose shape is called "dot", represents some unit fraction of a tina, often a half as shown, but it is intentionally left to be defined by the user.<ref name=":0" />
