Source: Browser Default
U+0155 "ŕ" Latin Small Letter R with Acute is a precomposed character used in several European languages, including Slovak, Czech, and Sorbian, where it represents a specific palatalized or trilled 'r' sound distinct from a plain 'r'. It is formed by combining a base Latin small letter 'r' with an acute accent diacritic placed above it, and its uppercase counterpart is U+0154 "Ŕ". In typography and text encoding, this character ensures correct representation of words in those languages, such as the Slovak word for "mouth" (ústa) but with a different meaning when spelled with ŕ, and it is part of the Latin Extended-A block of Unicode, allowing for proper digital text processing and display.
