U+1D92 "ᶒ" Latin Small Letter E with Retroflex Hook Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1D92 "ᶒ" Latin Small Letter E with Retroflex Hook is a phonetic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a retroflex variant of the vowel or semivowel sound normally denoted by the letter "e." The retroflex hook, appended to the bottom of the standard lowercase e, indicates that the sound is produced with the tongue curled back toward the hard palate, a feature common in certain languages such as Mandarin Chinese and some Indian languages. This character belongs to the Phonetic Extensions block of Unicode, which contains numerous specialized letters for precise linguistic transcription. As a result, it is rarely encountered in everyday text but serves an important role in scholarly works on phonetics and language documentation.
