What ᴰ means
In UPA, ᴰ marks a very brief d sound. The raised position signals that briefness.
UPA was proposed for precise transcription of Finno-Ugric languages such as Finnish and Hungarian. Its first proposal appeared in 1901 in the first issue of Finnisch-Ugrische Forschungen, a scholarly journal on Finno-Ugric studies. UPA also appears in Uralic, Turkic and Mongolic work. Some publications use the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and strictness in following UPA conventions varies.

Questions people ask
1Why does ᴰ show as a box on some devices?
Not every system ships a font for the Phonetic Extensions block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
