U+01BE "ƾ" Latin Letter Inverted Glottal Stop with Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ƾ
U+01BE "ƾ" Latin Letter Inverted Glottal Stop with Stroke is a rarely used typographic and orthographic symbol from the Latin Extended B block, designed to represent a specific phonetic sound in certain linguistic transcription systems. It combines an inverted glottal stop shape, which typically indicates a glottal or pharyngeal articulation, with a horizontal stroke that modifies its phonetic value, often used in older or specialized notations for African languages or in the International Phonetic Alphabet's extended repertoire. This character is distinct from similar glyphs like the standard glottal stop and is primarily encountered in historical or highly technical linguistic texts, rather than in modern everyday writing.
