Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+032F "̯" Combining Inverted Breve Below is a diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription to modify a base letter by placing a small, downward-pointing arch or brief inverted curve beneath it. This mark most commonly indicates that the associated sound is pronounced as a nonsyllabic or semivowel, often appearing in linguistic contexts such as the International Phonetic Alphabet to denote a glide or a vowel that loses its syllabic status, like the final element in a diphthong. It is distinct from the combining breve above and serves as a precise tool for marking phonetic detail in written language.
