Unicode Version 17.0
ꜝ
U+A71D "ꜝ" Modifier Letter Raised Exclamation Mark is a specialized typographic symbol used in certain phonetic and orthographic contexts, particularly within historical or reconstructed writing systems. It functions as a diacritic-like modifier, typically appearing in superscript form to indicate a raised exclamation mark, and is often employed in the transcription of African languages or in the study of early modern English texts to denote emphasis or a specific tonal quality. Unlike the standard exclamation mark, this character is designed to combine with or modify adjacent letters, serving a precise phonetic rather than mere punctuation role in scholarly linguistic notation.
