Unicode Version 17.0
Ȥ
U+0224 "Ȥ" Latin Capital Letter Z with Hook is a variant of the standard Latin letter Z, distinguished by a small hook attached to the lower right side of the character's vertical stem. This glyph is primarily used in certain phonetic transcription systems and linguistic notations, particularly within the context of the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet, where it represents a specific voiceless or affricate sound that differs from the typical "z" sound. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that scholars, typographers, and digital text systems can accurately represent and exchange this specialized character across different platforms and documents without confusion with the standard Z or other similar-looking symbols.
