Unicode Version 17.0

͖

U+0356 "͖" Combining Right Arrowhead and Up Arrowhead Below is a combining diacritical mark used in the International Phonetic Alphabet to indicate a specific articulatory feature, typically a simultaneous upward and rightward shift of the tongue or lip position in the production of a base sound. It is placed beneath a letter, such as an asterisk for a voiced segment, to denote a raised and retracted (or backward and upward) articulation, often employed in phonetic transcriptions of certain languages to capture precise nuances of vowel or consonant quality that standard symbols cannot convey. This character belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks block and is particularly relevant in the field of linguistics for detailed phonetic analysis.
