U+2184 "ↄ" Latin Small Letter Reversed C Unicode Character

U+2184 "ↄ" Latin Small Letter Reversed C is a typographic symbol used primarily in African reference alphabets and certain phonetic transcription systems, such as the International Phonetic Alphabet, where it represents a voiced palatal fricative sound or a click consonant. Its design simply mirrors the standard lowercase "c" horizontally, and it was encoded in Unicode as part of the Latin Extended-C block to support linguistic and scholarly documentation. While often confused with the similar-looking turned c or other reversed letters, this specific character has a distinct numeric code point and visual identity.
