U+107A7 "𐞧" Modifier Letter Small Turned R with Long Leg and Retroflex Hook Unicode Character
U+107A7 "𐞧" Modifier Letter Small Turned R with Long Leg and Retroflex Hook is a specialized diacritic mark used in phonetic transcription, specifically within the extended International Phonetic Alphabet for representing subtle articulatory distinctions. This character combines a turned lowercase "r" shape, which indicates a retroflex or rhotic quality, with a long leg that extends downward and a retroflex hook that signals the tongue is curled back toward the palate. It is part of the Latin Extended F block, added to Unicode in version 14.0 (2021), and is primarily employed by linguists and language researchers to document rare or precise speech sounds, particularly in the transcription of certain African and Asian languages where such fine-grained phonetic detail is necessary for accurate representation.
