Apostrophe is the easiest term to use when trying to explain them to English speakers. They are symbols that stand for left-out letters and they are extremly prevalent in medieval Latin.
They have many different apostrophes in Latin. Macrons, squiggle shapes (er/re/ir/ri), tails, etc. Very very common in Gothic script especially.
