U+1D4E "ᵎ" Modifier Letter Small Turned I Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᵎ
U+1D4E "ᵎ" Modifier Letter Small Turned I is a typographic glyph used primarily in phonetic transcription, particularly within the International Phonetic Alphabet and its extensions, to represent a specific secondary articulation or a reduced, weak vowel sound. It takes the form of a small, superscript version of a turned letter i, which is essentially a standard i rotated 180 degrees, and it modifies the pronunciation of the preceding base character by indicating a more centralized or breathy quality. This character belongs to the Phonetic Extensions block and is classified as a modifier letter, meaning it is intended to be combined with other letters rather than used independently.
