U+2C70 "Ɒ" Latin Capital Letter Turned Alpha Unicode Character

U+2C70 "Ɒ" Latin Capital Letter Turned Alpha is a nonstandard letter used primarily in historical or phonetic contexts, most notably in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet, where it represents a voiced labiodental approximant, a sound similar to a "w" produced with the lower lip and upper teeth. It is a turned, uppercase version of the Latin letter alpha, which itself derives from the Greek alpha, and its design distinguishes it from the standard Latin "A" by its rounded, symmetrical top. This character is rarely seen in modern orthographies but occasionally appears in linguistic documentation and specialized typography focusing on the sounds of Uralic languages.
