Modifier Letter Small D With Hook

𐞌 is the superscript modifier for <code>ɗ</code>, an implosive d, in IPA (the International Phonetic Alphabet). It marks a brief or secondary ɗ-like element attached to another sound; the surrounding transcription gives its exact role. Alone, it cannot tell you what sound it modifies.

What 𐞌 means

It marks a brief or secondary ɗ-like element.

Here ɗ is the voiced implosive d: a sound made with voicing and a short inward movement of air. In IPA, this modifier can mark a fleeting or weak ɗ-like sound, a release, or a coloring of a neighboring sound; the notation around it decides which.

The IPA's 1949 Principles describe small raised index letters for phonetic shades.

Why was 𐞌 made?

It gives that raised role its own text identity.

In 2020, the International Phonetic Association asked Unicode to encode superscript IPA letters as characters. The raised position can mark a relationship to nearby phonetic material; ordinary text styling may not preserve that role as character data.

What does it mean when someone sends 𐞌 alone?

Alone, it cannot name the sound it modifies.

A modifier needs nearby phonetic material. Ask for the surrounding transcription; it supplies the sound this mark qualifies.

Technical phonetic notation; outside it, this mark reads as a specialist symbol.

Alone, it cannot tell you what sound it modifies.

Why does 𐞌 look like an ordinary superscript?

Font-dependent. A 2020 IPA proposal noted that some typefaces do not visibly distinguish this encoded modifier from a styled superscript; the visual result can hide its role.
