Unicode Version 17.0
ᴤ
U+1D24 "ᴤ" Latin Letter Voiced Laryngeal Spirant is a phonetic symbol used primarily in historical linguistics and dialectology to represent a voiced fricative sound produced in the larynx, often associated with the transcription of archaic or dialectal speech in languages such as English, where it may denote a voiced glottal fricative distinct from the more common [ɦ]. This character is part of the Phonetic Extensions block and was originally adopted for the work of the International Phonetic Association and in the writings of early phoneticians like Henry Sweet, serving as a precise notational tool for describing the articulatory nuances of laryngeal sounds in the study of language evolution and comparative phonetics.
