U+1D65 "ᵥ" Latin Subscript Small Letter V is a typographic glyph belonging to the Latin Extended C block, designed as a small, lowered version of the letter v for use in subscript phonetic notations. It is primarily employed in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and other linguistic transcription systems to represent a reduced or secondary articulation, often indicating a short, unstressed, or auxiliary sound in the pronunciation of words. The character functions as a diacritic modifier when attached to other letters, helping linguists specify subtle variations in speech sounds, and it is distinct from the regular Latin letter v in both size and baseline position.
