Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+2C6D "Ɑ" Latin Capital Letter Alpha is a typographic letter that visually resembles a capital Latin A but with a rounded, closed top, and is used primarily in certain African language orthographies, such as those for the Fe'fe' and Mbo languages of Cameroon, where it represents a distinct vowel sound. While its shape is similar to the lowercase Latin alpha (ɑ) used in the International Phonetic Alphabet, this uppercase form serves a grammatical purpose in standard writing systems. It was encoded in Unicode as part of the Latin Extended-C block to support accurate representation of these languages in digital text.
