Usage notes
[edit]The character U+203C is recommended for the click letter by Unicode and is supported by SIL fonts (e.g. proper placement of IPA diacritics). The six basic ‼-clicks are:
Velar Uvular Voiceless ⟨‼̥⟩ k͜‼ q͜‼ Voiced ⟨‼̬⟩ ɡ͜‼ ɢ͜‼ Nasal ⟨‼̃⟩ ŋ͜‼ ɴ͜‼
The tie bar may be omitted, or the accompanying letter may be superscripted: ⟨ᵏ‼ ᶢ‼ ᵑ‼ 𐞥‼ 𐞒‼ ᶰ‼⟩.
If the order is reversed, e.g. ⟨‼q⟩, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).
