U+032B "̫" Combining Inverted Double Arch Below is a diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription, particularly within the International Phonetic Alphabet, to indicate a slight breathy or aspirated quality on the base letter it is placed beneath. It consists of two small, downward-facing arches aligned horizontally, and is typically applied to consonants or vowels to modify their articulation without altering their core sound category. This combining character is not a standalone letter but is instead designed to attach to a preceding character, such as a Latin letter, to provide nuanced linguistic detail.
