U+A7A6 "Ꞧ" Latin Capital Letter R with Oblique Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ꞧ
U+A7A6 "Ꞧ" Latin Capital Letter R with Oblique Stroke is a relatively recent addition to the standard, encoded in 2017 as part of the Latin Extended-D block to support the historical and modern orthographies of specific indigenous languages of the Americas. This character is primarily used in the writing systems of the Teuton and Wari’ languages of Brazil, where it represents a voiced labio-velar approximant or a similar distinct sound not captured by the standard Latin letter R. Its visual form features a diagonal stroke crossing through the bowl and descender of the capital R, distinguishing it from other modified R characters in the Unicode repertoire, such as the R with stroke used in some European languages.
