Latin Small Letter Turned R With Tail Letter Meaning
ⱹ is the “LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED R WITH TAIL” (U+2C79). Because it’s part of Latin Extended, it’s primarily encountered in contexts where extended Latin alphabets or specialized orthographies are represented digitally. Visually, it resembles a modified lowercase r form, distinguishing it from standard “r” and from other similar turned-letter characters. In practice, it’s used for accurate text reproduction, typography, and data consistency when the original content expects this specific character. When you need to match a source document, use the exact Unicode code point (U+2C79) rather than substituting a similar-looking letter.
