U+02F2 "˲" Modifier Letter Low Right Arrowhead Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
˲
U+02F2 "˲" Modifier Letter Low Right Arrowhead is a small diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription, specifically within the International Phonetic Alphabet and other linguistic notation systems, to indicate a slight modification of the preceding sound, often associated with a raised or advanced articulation. Its distinctive low rightward arrowhead shape visually suggests a directional shift or a specific phonetic quality, and it is typically placed above, below, or beside a base letter to adjust its pronunciation without representing a standalone phoneme. As part of the Spacing Modifier Letters block, this character serves to refine the representation of speech sounds in a non alphabetic manner.
