Usage notes

[edit]
  • (extIPA): A circle without an enclosed letter, , means a completely unidentifiable sound. If some feature of the sound can be identified, a wildcard or best guess may be enclosed. For example, σ⃝ is an unidentifiable syllable, C⃝ is an unidentifiable consonant, k⃝ is perhaps [k], etc. This is effectively a copyediting mark and, like other such marks, is not intentionally supported by Unicode.

Derived terms
