U+107B7 "𐞷" Modifier Letter Lateral Click is a specialized phonetic symbol added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Supplemental Phonetic Extended block, which supports precise transcription for underdocumented or endangered languages. It represents a modifier letter indicating a lateral click sound, a consonant articulation produced by creating a suction noise with the side of the tongue against the side of the mouth, similar to sounds found in some southern African languages like !Xóõ or Zulu. This character is used by linguists and phoneticians to denote a specific variant of the lateral click that may carry a modified tone, length, or articulatory feature, enabling accurate and nuanced representation of speech sounds in linguistic studies and language documentation.
