| [[Slash (punctuation)|Double slashes]] are used for [[morphophonemic]] and [[diaphonemic]] transcription. This is also consistent with the IPA convention of doubling a symbol to indicate greater degree (in this case, more abstract than phonemic transcription).
Other symbols sometimes seen for morphophonemic transcription are [[vertical bar|pipes]] and double pipes, from [[Americanist phonetic notation]]; and ''braces'' from [[set theory]], especially when enclosing the set of phonemes that constitute the morphophoneme, e.g. {{IPA|{t d}}} or {{IPA|{t|d}}} or {{IPA|{/t/, /d/}}}. Only double slashes are unambiguous: both pipes and braces conflict with IPA prosodic transcription.{{NoteTag|For example, the single and double pipe symbols are used for minor and major prosodic breaks. Although the ''Handbook'' specifies the prosodic symbols as "thick" vertical lines, which would be distinct from simple ASCII pipes (and similar to [[Dania transcription|Dania]] transcription), this is optional and was intended to keep them distinct from the pipes used as [[click letter]]s.{{sfn|Roach|1989|p=75}} The ''Handbook'' assigns them the Unicode encodings U+007C, which is the simple ASCII pipe symbol, and U+2016.<ref name="auto">{{harvnb|International Phonetic Association|1999|p=174}}</ref>}}
