U+02CC "ˌ" Modifier Letter Low Vertical Line is a typographic symbol used primarily in phonetic transcription to indicate a secondary stress mark within the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It is positioned at the baseline level, unlike the similar high vertical line U+02C8 that marks primary stress, and appears as a small vertical stroke below the standard letter line. This character helps linguists and language learners clearly denote the relative prominence of syllables in words, such as in the pronunciation of "information" where the secondary stress falls on the first and third syllables.
