U+02A2 "ʢ" Latin Letter Reversed Glottal Stop with Stroke is a phonetic symbol used primarily in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent a voiced epiglottal trill, a sound produced by vibration of the aryepiglottic folds in the larynx. It is a typographic variant of the glottal stop symbol, distinguished by its reversed orientation and a horizontal stroke through the main stem, which indicates its voicing and trilled articulation. This character is useful in the transcription of certain languages, such as some dialects of Arabic and the Caucasian languages, where this rare speech sound occurs.
