U+1D2C "ᴬ" Modifier Letter Capital A Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D2C "ᴬ" Modifier Letter Capital A is a superscript or raised version of the uppercase letter A, used in phonetic transcription to indicate a secondary articulation, a reduced vowel quality, or a weak release in speech sounds, particularly within the International Phonetic Alphabet and other linguistic notation systems. As a modifier letter, it does not stand alone as a full character but instead alters or adds detail to a preceding or following base letter, such as in transliterations or precise phonetic representation of languages. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for consistent digital encoding of these specialized linguistic marks, preserving the distinction between a full capital A and its smaller, elevated form used for phonetic precision.
