U+01FB "ǻ" Latin Small Letter A with Ring Above and Acute Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ǻ
U+01FB "ǻ" Latin Small Letter A with Ring Above and Acute is a composite character used primarily in certain orthographies and phonetic transcriptions, combining a base Latin small letter "a" with two diacritical marks: a ring above and an acute accent. This glyph is most notably employed in a few Scandinavian and Central European languages to represent a specific vowel sound, though it is less common than its simpler counterpart "å." The ring above typically indicates a distinct quality, such as a rounded or open pronunciation, while the acute accent may signal stress or a particular tonal variation, making it essential for accurate text representation in Unicode to ensure correct rendering in digital documents and typography.
