U+027D "ɽ" Latin Small Letter R with Tail Unicode Character

U+027D "ɽ" Latin Small Letter R with Tail is a phonetic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a voiced retroflex flap, a sound produced by curling the tip of the tongue back to the roof of the mouth and quickly flicking it forward, as heard in some South Asian languages like Hindi and Hausa. It belongs to the Latin script block and is visually distinct from a standard "r" by a small hook or tail extending from the lower right of the letter's bowl.
