It appears as two separate glyphs.  The first is char "x" (decimal 120)
and then the second is given as below

position: 86 of 87 (98%), column: 3
            character: ̅ (displayed as ̅) (codepoint 773, #o1405, #x305)
              charset: unicode-bmp (Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane (U+0000..U+FFFF))
code point in charset: 0x0305
               script: latin
               syntax: w 	which means: word
             category: ^:Combining
             to input: type "C-x 8 RET 305" or "C-x 8 RET COMBINING OVERLINE"
          buffer code: #xCC #x85
            file code: #xCC #x85 (encoded by coding system utf-8-unix)
              display: by this font (glyph code)
