U+01BB "ƻ" Latin Letter Two with Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+01BB "ƻ" Latin Letter Two with Stroke is a rare and mostly historical letterform that was used in some early African orthographies and phonetic transcription systems, notably in the Orthographic Conference of 1929 for the languages in the then-Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. Its design consists of a numeral "2" with a horizontal line or stroke drawn through its middle, and it was intended to represent a specific speech sound, often a bilabial or dental click, though it has since been largely replaced by more modern linguistic notation. In contemporary digital contexts, this character is primarily of interest to typographers, historical linguists, and Unicode enthusiasts who study obscure or legacy scripts.
