Modifier Letter Lower Right Corner Angle

In Ozumacín spelling, it marks a high-rising tone.

The speaker’s pitch starts high and climbs further before the syllable ends. This Chinantec tone mark follows the syllable, recording a pitch difference that ordinary Latin letters alone do not show.

Printed Ozumacín Gospel material documents this tone-marking system in 1990; a New Testament and Psalms use it in 2003. A Unicode proposal documented the set in 2004, and ꜚ was encoded in 2006. These dates mark printed use and encoding, not the convention’s invention.

How do I type ꜚ?

Enter it as a separate character after the syllable.

Use U+A71A with a Unicode-aware input method, or ꜚ in HTML source. As a spacing modifier, it does not combine above a vowel.

In the documented Ozumacín example juuhꜚ, the final mark assigns the high-rising tone to juuh.

Why does ꜚ look different?

The font draws its outline; Ozumacín spelling supplies its tone value.

Fonts can draw the same corner-like character differently; that changes its shape, not its documented reading. ˼ is a separate low-tone phonetic mark, ˩ an extra-low tone bar, and ⌋ and ⌟ are mathematical or punctuation corners.
