U+1DF0A "𝼊" Latin Letter Retroflex Click with Retroflex Hook Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝼊
U+1DF0A "𝼊" Latin Letter Retroflex Click with Retroflex Hook is a specialized phonetic symbol used to represent a particular type of speech sound found in some human languages, specifically a retroflex click. This character combines the shape of a retroflex letter (indicating the tongue is curled back to touch the palate) with a hook that denotes a click articulation, resulting in a volitional consonant sound produced by creating a vacuum and releasing a burst of air. It belongs to the Latin Extended-F block of Unicode, which was added to support the precise transcription needs of phoneticians and linguists studying underrepresented languages, particularly those in Southern Africa that feature complex click consonants.
