U+1DEA "ᷪ" Combining Latin Small Letter Schwa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᷪ
U+1DEA "ᷪ" Combining Latin Small Letter Schwa is a diacritical mark used in some phonetic or orthographic systems to modify a base letter, typically to indicate a schwa sound or a reduced vowel quality. This combining character is designed to be placed above or in conjunction with another character, such as a Latin letter, to denote a specific pronunciation or tone in linguistic transcription, particularly in scholarly works like those for African or minority languages. It appears as a small, superscript-like symbol representing the schwa vowel, and its addition to text requires a base character that supports combining marks for proper rendering.
