Source: Browser Default
U+A782 "Ꞃ" Latin Capital Letter Insular R is a historical typographic form of the letter R used primarily in medieval Insular scripts, such as those found in Old English and Old Irish manuscripts, where it often represented a voiced or trilled r sound. This capital letter is distinct from the standard Latin R due to its distinctive shape, which lacks a fully closed loop and instead features a descending stroke. It was included in Unicode to support the accurate digital representation and study of historical texts, particularly those from early medieval Britain and Ireland.
