U+1D3F "ᴿ" Modifier Letter Capital R Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ᴿ

U+1D3F "ᴿ" Modifier Letter Capital R is a superscript or raised uppercase R used primarily in phonetic transcription, particularly within the International Phonetic Alphabet to denote a rhotic or r-colored quality on a preceding vowel or sound. It belongs to the Phonetic Extensions block and functions as a spacing modifier letter, meaning it takes up its own horizontal space rather than combining directly with the character it modifies. This form allows for clearer representation of certain linguistic features, such as r-colored vowels in rhotic dialects of English, without altering the base character itself. While visually resembling a superscript letter, it is distinct from a simple formatting change because it has its own specific code point and intended phonetic meaning.
