U+10785 "𐞅" Modifier Letter Small B with Hook Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10785 "𐞅" Modifier Letter Small B with Hook is a specialized diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription, particularly within the extended IPA and other linguistic notation systems to represent a modified or retroflexed 'b' sound, distinguished by a hook attached to the base of the letter. This character belongs to the Latin Extended Additional block and serves as a modifier letter, meaning it is intended to alter the pronunciation of the preceding or following character without standing alone as a separate consonant. It is part of a set of small capital and modified letters that allow linguists to denote precise articulatory details, such as implosive or labialized variations, that are not covered by standard Latin letters. The glyph itself combines a small Latin b with a hooked tail, visually indicating the specific phonetic feature it represents, and it is encoded at U+10785 to ensure consistent representation across digital text.
