Hawaiian diacritical markings are a part of ‘Ōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Language), and we do our best to accurately reflect their use on our site and in school materials overall. Due to limitations in displaying the Hawaiian diacritical markings accurately on various computer operating systems and to ensure integrity of the information, the ʻokina and kahakō used in Hawaiian words have been included where possible in copy that appears on this website, and in some areas are omitted for site functionality. Mahalo for your understanding.
