U+0318 "̘" Combining Left Tack Below is a diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription, particularly within the International Phonetic Alphabet, to indicate a retracted or backed articulation of a sound. It appears as a small symbol placed beneath a base character, resembling a leftward-pointing tack or hook, and modifies the pronunciation by suggesting the tongue or articulator is positioned further back in the vocal tract than usual.
