    The page linked above has an example of the combining vertical line below
    as it is used in Yoruba. (The second example on the page.)

    (I've also seen Yoruba examples where the vertical line is a bit longer.)

    It's a glyph variant, in my opinion. Adding an appropriate annotation
    to U+0329 might be a solution.
