U+1BC72 "ð›±²" Duployan Affix Right Horizontal Secant is a glyph within the Duployan shorthand script block, which was designed for a family of phonetic stenographic writing systems developed in the 19th century. This specific character functions as an affix, meaning it is attached to the beginning or end of a word in Duployan shorthand to modify its grammatical or phonetic value, and the term "Right Horizontal Secant" describes its visual form as a short horizontal stroke that extends to the right. It is used primarily in historical or specialized linguistic contexts, particularly for representing certain prefixes or suffixes in languages like Chinook Jargon or French, relying on precise alignment with adjacent characters for legibility.
