U+02BD "ʽ" Modifier Letter Reversed Comma Unicode Character

U+02BD "ʽ" Modifier Letter Reversed Comma is a small raised glyph that resembles a leftward-facing apostrophe or a reversed single quotation mark, used primarily in phonetic transcription and some orthographies. It functions as a diacritic to indicate a specific type of glottal or pharyngeal articulation, often representing a voiced pharyngeal fricative or an ejective-like release in the International Phonetic Alphabet, while also appearing in Latin-based writing systems for certain languages like Hausa and the N'Ko script to denote modifications in tone or consonant quality.
