Unicode Version 17.0
꜕
U+A715 "꜕" Modifier Letter Low Left-Stem Tone Bar is a specialized phonetic symbol used primarily in linguistic transcriptions to indicate a low tone in certain tone bar systems, particularly those derived from the work of earlier linguists like George A. Kennedy. It belongs to the Modifier Tone Letters block and visually resembles a small horizontal bar attached to a left-facing vertical stem, distinguishing it from other tone marks that denote mid or high pitches. This character is not common in everyday text but appears in academic and dictionary contexts for accurately representing tonal languages, especially those of East Asia, where precise pitch notation is essential for linguistic analysis and teaching.
