Hawaiian fonts are like Latin fonts except for two additional diacritical marks. The kahako is a macron, a short, horizontal line that appears over some of the vowels when they need to have a long pronunciation. The cokina is the single, open quote that appears frequently before vowels. It indicates a glottal stop, a clean break between vowels.
