U+1DE2 "ᷢ" Combining Latin Letter Small Capital R Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1DE2 "ᷢ" Combining Latin Letter Small Capital R is a diacritical mark used in historical and scholarly text encoding, particularly for medieval manuscripts and phonetic transcription. It is applied as a combining character that attaches to a base letter to modify its sound, often representing a vocalic or syllabic r-like quality in languages such as Old English, Gothic, or other early Germanic scripts. This character belongs to the Combining Diacritical Marks Extended block and is part of the efforts to digitally represent complex orthographic systems from before the modern standard typeface. Its small capital form distinguishes it from a regular lowercase r, ensuring precision in linguistic notation without altering the baseline letter’s spacing.
