U+1D73 "ᵳ" Latin Small Letter R with Fishhook and Middle Tilde Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D73 "ᵳ" Latin Small Letter R with Fishhook and Middle Tilde is a specialized phonetic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and related transcription systems to denote a specific type of rhotic consonant. It represents a voiced retroflex flap or a similar sound, combining a standard Latin "r" with a fishhook (a hook at the upper right) to indicate retroflexion, and a middle tilde (a horizontal line through the letter) to signify a fricative or trilled quality. This character is part of the Phonetic Extensions block and is employed by linguists and language scholars for precise transcription of regional dialects, indigenous languages, or phonetic variations that require a nuanced representation beyond basic Latin letters.
