U+2C6B "Ⱬ" Latin Capital Letter Z with Descender is a modified Latin letter used in certain alphabets for transcribing languages such as Udmurt and other Uralic or Turkic languages, where it typically represents a voiced retroflex fricative sound similar to the "zh" in "measure" but with a retroflex articulation. This character is formed by adding a descender, a stroke descending below the baseline, to the standard capital letter Z, distinguishing it from the plain Z and signaling a distinct phonetic value in specialized orthographies. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures consistent digital representation across platforms for linguistic and scholarly work requiring precise phonetic notation.
