U+0312 "̒" Combining Turned Comma Above Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
̒
U+0312 "̒" Combining Turned Comma Above is a diacritical mark designed to be placed over a base letter in a text, where it modifies pronunciation or serves a phonetic purpose. Specifically shaped like a small comma rotated 180 degrees, it is commonly used in linguistic transcription systems, such as certain Slavicist notations, to indicate a specific type of palatalization or other articulatory feature distinct from a standard comma above. As a combining character, it does not stand alone but attaches directly to the preceding character, enabling precise orthographic representation without occupying additional character width in digital text processing.
