Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+024C "Ɍ" Latin Capital Letter R with Stroke is a modified version of the standard Latin letter R, distinguished by a horizontal stroke through its upper right or through the bowl, which is not to be confused with the similar looking Latin capital letter R with a diagonal stroke used in some phonetic alphabets or abbreviations. This character is primarily employed in certain African languages, such as the Ogbia language of Nigeria, where it represents a specific voiced alveolar trill or a distinct phonemic sound that differs from the plain R, and it falls within the Latin Extended B block of Unicode, enabling its use in modern digital text and typography for accurate linguistic representation.
