U+1D94 "ᶔ" Latin Small Letter Reversed Open E with Retroflex Hook Unicode Character

U+1D94 "ᶔ" Latin Small Letter Reversed Open E with Retroflex Hook is a specialized phonetic symbol used in the International Phonetic Alphabet and related transcription systems to represent a speech sound. It combines a reversed lowercase open e, indicating a sound similar to the vowel in "bet" but with the tongue positioned differently, with a retroflex hook at its lower right that signifies articulation with the tongue tip curled back toward the hard palate. This character is primarily employed by linguists and phoneticians to transcribe certain rhotacized or retroflex vowels found in languages such as some dialects of Swedish and in certain Indigenous languages of the Americas, though it is not part of standard everyday writing.
