Gentium glyph for ʮ

ʮ (turned h with fishhook) is a symbol from extensions to IPA for apical dental rounded syllabic alveolar fricative[citation needed]. That is, it is the "z" sound in English pronounced with rounded lips, and treated as a vowel in a syllable. It is used by Sinologists when transcribing words from various languages. The standard IPA notation would be [z̩ʷ][citation needed]. See Obsolete and nonstandard symbols in the International Phonetic Alphabet for more information.[1]
