Latin Letter Inverted Glottal Stop With Stroke Letter Meaning
ƾ (U+01BE) is “LATIN LETTER INVERTED GLOTTAL STOP WITH STROKE,” a character in the Latin Extended block. Like many specialized Latin Extended letters, it is used when standard letters (a–z) aren’t sufficient to represent a specific linguistic segment. You’ll most often encounter it in phonetic or linguistic contexts—such as transcriptions, documentation, fonts, or typographic work—where the exact shape and name correspond to a particular sound value or contrast. When copying, preserve it exactly (including the stroke) so the intended character is not replaced by a similar-looking letter from another script.
