U+02F6 "˶" Modifier Letter Middle Double Acute Accent Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
˶
U+02F6 "˶" Modifier Letter Middle Double Acute Accent is a diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription, particularly within the International Phonetic Alphabet, to indicate a particular type of tone or stress. It appears as a small, double acute accent positioned at the midline of the text, rather than above or below a letter, and is included in the Spacing Modifier Letters block. This character is distinct from other accent marks because it represents a mid-level or "double acute" modification, often employed in linguistic studies to denote a rising or extra-high tone in certain languages or phonetic systems.
