U+107AF "𐞯" Modifier Letter Small T with Retroflex Hook Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+107AF "𐞯" Modifier Letter Small T with Retroflex Hook is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, belonging to the Latin Extended-F block and designed for phonetic transcription, particularly within the context of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). This character represents a superscript or modifier form of the voiced retroflex stop, often indicated by a small "t" combined with a retroflex hook, and its primary purpose is to denote a modified or secondary articulation of the base sound, such as a retroflex release or onset, without representing a fully independent phoneme. It is used by linguists and language documenters to accurately transcribe subtle phonetic details in the speech of certain languages, including those from the Dravidian or Indo-Aryan families, where retroflex consonants are common. As a modifier letter, its function is to alter or refine the value of a preceding character, allowing for more precise and nuanced representation of spoken language
