U+A719 "ꜙ" Modifier Letter Dot Horizontal Bar Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A719 "ꜙ" Modifier Letter Dot Horizontal Bar is a diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription, specifically within the context of the International Phonetic Alphabet extensions, where it functions as a superscript modifier letter combining a small dot above with a horizontal bar, typically to indicate a particular articulation or prosodic feature in spoken language. Its primary purpose is to adjust the phonetic value of a preceding base character, representing a specific type of secondary articulation or tonal nuance. Originally encoded as part of the Latin Extended D block to support specialized linguistic notation, this character appears in scholarly works of phonetics and historical language documentation, though it is rare in modern digital text and requires appropriate Unicode-aware software for correct rendering.
