U+1DBE "ᶾ" Modifier Letter Small Ezh Unicode Character

U+1DBE "ᶾ" Modifier Letter Small Ezh is a superscript or modifier form of the lowercase ezh, a letter used in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent the voiced postalveolar fricative (the sound of the “s” in “measure”). This modifier version is employed in phonetic transcription to indicate a modified, shortened, or secondary articulation of that sound, often within the context of the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet or more precise linguistic notation. It appears as a small raised ezh character, allowing it to combine with other base letters to convey nuanced pronunciation details without altering the main symbol’s spacing or baseline position.
