U+1DC2 "᷂" Combining Snake Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
᷂
U+1DC2 "᷂" Combining Snake Below is a diacritical mark used in historical and phonetic notations, primarily to modify a base character by adding a small wavy or snake-like line beneath it. This combining mark belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks Supplement block and is typically applied to indicate a specific phonetic quality or articulation, such as a fricative or trilled release, in medieval manuscripts or linguistic transcriptions. When rendered, it visually attaches below the preceding letter, altering its pronunciation without adding a separate spacing glyph.
