Unicode Version 17.0

𐞹

U+107B9 "𐞹" Modifier Letter Retroflex Click with Retroflex Hook is a specialized phonetic symbol used in the extended International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a retroflex click sound, specifically one that is modified by a retroflex hook to indicate a curled-back tongue articulation. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-F block, which contains a range of diacritic and modifier letters for fine-grained phonetic transcription. Its design combines the standard click symbol with a hook attached to the top or side, distinguishing it from similar characters that denote other click types or articulations. As a modifier letter, it is intended to modify the sound of a preceding or following base character, typically in linguistic research or documentation of languages with complex consonant inventories, such as those found in parts of southern Africa.
