What Wikipedia says

A breve ( BREEV, less often BREV, neuter form of the Latin brevis "short, brief") is the diacritic mark ◌̆, shaped like the bottom half of a circle. As used in Ancient Greek, it is also called brachy, βραχύ. It resembles the caron (◌̌) but is rounded, in contrast to the angular tip of the caron.
