Source: Browser Default
U+A7B2 "Ʝ" Latin Capital Letter J with Crossed-Tail is a distinctive glyph used in the orthography of some African languages, particularly for representing a voiced palatal implosive or a similar phonetic sound that standard Latin letters do not adequately capture. Its design features a capital J with a horizontal line or stroke crossing through the lower tail area, setting it apart from the regular J. This character was added to Unicode as part of the Latin Extended D block to support linguistic transcriptions and minority language writing systems, ensuring that specific phonetic distinctions can be accurately encoded in digital text.
