U+A720 "꜠" Modifier Letter Stress and High Tone Unicode Character

U+A720 "꜠" Modifier Letter Stress and High Tone is a diacritical mark belonging to the Modifier Tone Letters block, designed for use in phonetic transcription systems to indicate both primary stress and a high tone simultaneously on a preceding or associated syllable. Its shape resembles a small, raised acute accent or apostrophe, and it is primarily utilized in linguistic documentation, particularly for languages that require a precise representation of both prosodic stress and tonal information in a single character. This character helps scholars and linguists streamline notation in phonological descriptions, avoiding the need for separate stress and tone markers in certain analytical contexts.
