Unicode Version 17.0
U+10788 "𐞈" Modifier Letter Small Dz Digraph with Retroflex Hook is a specialized phonetic symbol used to indicate a modified pronunciation of the digraph "dz" in certain linguistic contexts, specifically with a retroflex articulation where the tongue tip curls back toward the hard palate. This character belongs to the Latin Extended F block, which contains various letters and modifiers designed for precise transcription in sinology and other scholarly fields, notably for representing sounds in languages like Mandarin Chinese or other dialects that employ retroflex consonants. Its small, superscript form serves as a diacritic-like modifier, often attached to other characters to denote a secondary articulation or finer phonetic distinction without implying a full, independent letter value.
