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).
