U+025F "ɟ" Latin Small Letter Dotless J with Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ɟ
U+025F "ɟ" Latin Small Letter Dotless J with Stroke is a typographic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to represent a voiced palatal plosive, a sound produced by blocking airflow in the mouth with the tongue against the hard palate. Its design omits the dot of a standard lowercase “j” and adds a horizontal stroke through the ascender, distinguishing it from similar characters. This letter appears in phonetic transcription of languages such as the Australian Aboriginal language Yanyuwa, and it also has a supporting role in African orthographies for representing distinct speech sounds. As a unified character in Unicode, it ensures consistent digital representation across text systems and fonts.
