˟

  1. (IPA, ad hoc, dated) the compound tone (tone 2 a.k.a. grave accent) in Swedish and Norwegian.

The mark is placed before the word. Illustrated in Jones (1928) and the 1949 Principles. It is one of several ad hoc symbols that have been used, as the IPA has no single symbol to mark this tone.
