Unicode Version 17.0
̙
U+0319 "̙" Combining Right Tack Below is a diacritical mark used in various writing systems to modify the sound of a base letter by indicating a retracted or backed articulation. It appears as a small, rightward-pointing tack or arrowhead positioned beneath the character it combines with, and it is commonly employed in phonetic transcription, such as in the International Phonetic Alphabet, to denote a phoneme pronounced farther back in the vocal tract than usual. This mark can attach to consonants or vowels to provide precise phonetic detail in linguistic analysis without creating a separate character.
