ɿ U+027F, ɿ LATIN SMALL LETTER REVERSED R WITH FISHHOOK ← ɾ [U+027E] IPA Extensions ʀ → [U+0280]

Translingual

Etymology

• The Dania and Swedish dialect letter long i (dotless i with a descender), without the bottom terminal that is normal in italic typeface. Karlgren added a t-like terminal at the top for Sinological use; Y. R. Chao made the terminal a more pronounced hook to better match the IPA alphabet.

In some fonts the descender is missing so that the letter resembles a reversed fishhook r ⟨ɾ⟩, though the two letters have no etymological connection. In other fonts the letter is raised to the baseline so that it has an ascender rather than a descender.

Symbol

ɿ

1. (phonetics) An apical vowel pronounced with friction: a nonstandard transcription of syllabic /z/, used in transcribing various Sino-Tibetan languages.
