Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+029E "ʞ" Latin Small Letter Turned K is a typographic symbol originally intended for use in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a voiceless velular or uvular click, though it was never officially adopted for that purpose and is now considered obsolete or extraneous in phonetic transcription. It is formed by rotating the standard Latin lowercase 'k' 180 degrees, and its primary modern use is in academic discussions of Unicode phonetic symbols, as a curiosity in linguistics, or as a decorative character in text.
