Diacritical mark
[edit]◌̨
- The ogonek, a common diacritic for nasalization.
- (IPA, dated) Sometimes used to mark nasalization in order not to clutter tone marks placed above the vowel letter.
- (IPA, obsolete) A graphic substitution for ⟨◌᪷⟩.
- (UPA, on a consonant letter) Laminal articulation, e.g. ⟨s̨⟩ (IPA ◌̻).
- (UPA, on a vowel letter) A reduced vowel; equivalent to a turned letter.
Usage notes
[edit]Along with the cedilla ⟨◌̧⟩ and the overstruck tilde ⟨◌̴⟩, the ogonek is one of the few diacritics that graphically connects with a letter and yet is used productively in Unicode, rather than there being a separate Unicode character assigned to each combination of letter and diacritic.
In Dania transcription, the ogonek may be either combining or spacing, ǫ or o˛, depending on the publisher.
Several sources use an ogonek, often in its straight variant, as the old IPA diacritic for a more open vowel or consonant. However, the official IPA symbol was a left half ring. Unicode has provided a dedicated character, ⟨◌᪷⟩.
