U+A71B "ꜛ" Modifier Letter Raised Up Arrow Unicode Character

U+A71B "ꜛ" Modifier Letter Raised Up Arrow is a diacritical mark used primarily in phonetic transcription, specifically within the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet, where it indicates that the following sound is articulated with a raised or upward pitch or tone. Unlike a full-size arrow, this character functions as a spacing modifier letter, meaning it occupies its own character space rather than combining directly with another letter. Its shape resembles a small upward pointing arrow, and it is part of the Latin Extended D block of Unicode, serving as a tool for linguists and language researchers to represent intonation or prosodic features in text, particularly for Uralic languages.
