U+1D1A "ᴚ" Latin Letter Small Capital Turned R Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+1D1A "ᴚ" Latin Letter Small Capital Turned R is a typographic symbol from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), where it represents a voiced uvular fricative, a sound produced by constricting airflow in the back of the throat near the uvula. Its design is essentially a capital R rotated 180 degrees, reflecting the common practice in the IPA of using inverted or turned letters to indicate related but distinct phonetic values, with this character specifically contrasting with the similar but differently shaped voiced uvular trill symbol. While it appears most frequently in phonetic transcriptions of languages like French or German, it is also sometimes used in linguistic research and historical orthographies to denote rhotic sounds or as a stylistic character in text for specialized purposes.
