U+FE2A "︪" Combining Tilde Right Half Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
︪
U+FE2A "︪" Combining Tilde Right Half Below is a diacritical mark designed to be placed underneath a base character in a text, representing only the right half of a tilde symbol. It belongs to the Combining Half Marks block and is used in specialized orthographic or phonetic transcription systems to indicate a specific modification of a letter’s pronunciation, such as a partial nasalization or a particular tone contour, without fully separating the mark from the character. As a combining character, it automatically attaches to and occupies the same typographic space as the preceding letter, allowing for precise linguistic notation in digital text processing.
