U+034E "͎" Combining Upwards Arrow Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
͎
U+034E "͎" Combining Upwards Arrow Below is a combining diacritical mark that attaches to the base character beneath it, typically used in linguistic or phonetic transcription to indicate a specific articulatory feature, such as a raised or upward directed quality of a sound. As part of the Combining Diacritical Marks block, it modifies the preceding character to add a layer of symbolic meaning without occupying its own horizontal space, and it is distinct from standalone arrow symbols due to its role as a diacritic in text rendering and digital typography.
