U+1D74 "ᵴ" Latin Small Letter S with Middle Tilde Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D74 "ᵴ" Latin Small Letter S with Middle Tilde is a specialized typographic symbol used primarily in phonetic transcription, notably within the International Phonetic Alphabet or similar linguistic notation systems, where it indicates a particular articulatory modification or a fricative sound with a nasalized or laryngealized quality, depending on the specific transcription convention. Its design combines a standard lowercase "s" with a small tilde placed across its middle, positioning it as a distinct glyph for representing nuanced speech sounds that are not captured by the plain letter "s" alone. This character is part of the Unicode block for phonetic extensions, which provides symbols for accurate representation of spoken language in digital text.
