Currently a barre is indicated by a solid line on a fretboard diagram, e.g.
straight_line_barre.png
However, another symbol widely used in published works, and online, is a curved line for the barré; this appears just above the position where the solid barre woud have been, e.g.
curved_line_barre.png

This can also be used for partial barres, e.g.
partial_barre.png

Unlike the straight line barre, the curved line barre allows finger dots to be displayed at the same position.
