latin letter reversed esh loop

Reversed Esh Loop

43/208

ƪ is an older phonetic symbol for a voiceless “sh”-like sound made with rounded lips. Older phonetic descriptions of Twi, an Akan language, used it for the sound written ⟨hw⟩ before front vowels—vowels formed with the tongue toward the front of the mouth. Unicode 18.0 marks it as archaic and lists ʃʷ, esh plus a raised w mark, among spellings for that sound.

Its appearance depends on the font and text styling.

How it is encoded

ƪ is a single code point, U01AA. In HTML that is ƪ, and in CSS \01AA.

Why does ƪ show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
