U+032D "̭" Combining Circumflex Accent Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
̭
U+032D "̭" Combining Circumflex Accent Below is a diacritical mark placed underneath a base letter to modify its pronunciation, typically indicating a lowered or retracted sound in phonetic transcription systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet. When combined with a letter, it forms a new character that represents a specific phonetic nuance, such as a partially devoiced or breathy articulation, and it is used by linguists and language scholars for precise transcription of spoken language. This combining character does not stand alone but is designed to be applied to a preceding base character in digital text, allowing for accurate representation of subtle sound distinctions across various languages and dialects.
