U+A71A "ꜚ" Modifier Letter Lower Right Corner Angle Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꜚ
U+A71A "ꜚ" Modifier Letter Lower Right Corner Angle is a typographic diacritic used primarily in medievalist and phonetic notation, often found in editions of Old English or Early Middle English texts where scribes employed it to mark a missing or elided letter, typically a nasal consonant like "n" or "m" at the end of a word. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-D block, and its shape resembles a small angled bracket or corner positioned at the lower right of a letter, functioning as a contextual abbreviation mark without altering the base character's sound. It is distinct from similar-looking punctuation marks, as its specific role is to indicate a conventionalized textual contraction in historical manuscripts.
