U+031D "̝" Combining Up Tack Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
̝
U+031D "̝" Combining Up Tack Below is a diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription, particularly within the International Phonetic Alphabet, to indicate a raised articulation of a base letter. When placed beneath a character, it modifies the sound to signify that the tongue or articulator is positioned higher than usual for that phoneme, such as in transcribing a raised vowel like [e̝] or a raised consonant. Appearing as a small horizontal line with a vertical upward stroke below, this combining symbol attaches directly to the preceding base character, altering its phonetic quality in linguistic notation.
