U+1DF1D "𝼝" Latin Small Letter C with Retroflex Hook Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𝼝
U+1DF1D "𝼝" Latin Small Letter C with Retroflex Hook is a specialized orthographic symbol used primarily in the phonetic transcription of certain Indigenous languages of the Americas, where it represents a voiceless retroflex affricate sound. This character is formed by adding a retroflex hook to the standard Latin letter c, indicating a distinct pronunciation that differs from the typical alveolar or palatal sounds. Its inclusion in Unicode supports accurate digital representation and preservation of linguistic data, particularly for languages where such a sound is phonemically relevant but otherwise poorly supported by basic Latin characters.
