U+02AD "ʭ" Latin Letter Bidental Percussive Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+02AD "ʭ" Latin Letter Bidental Percussive is a typographic symbol used in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to represent a specific rare speech sound, which is produced by percussively striking the upper and lower teeth together. This sound is typically not a phoneme in any natural language but is instead an extralinguistic or paralinguistic noise, sometimes occurring in certain speech pathologies or in the transcription of beatboxing or other vocal percussion. The character was added to Unicode as part of the IPA Extensions block and, being a bidental percussive, it denotes a manner of articulation where both sets of teeth are the active articulators.
