Turned h with fishhook

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ʮ (turned h with fishhook) is a symbol used in Sinological phonetic notation for a labialized syllabic fricative. It is often interpreted as a [z] with rounded lips, and treated as vowel-like in a syllable. Its counterpart with an additional tail ʯ (turned h with fishhook and tail) is treated as the retroflex equivalent, a vowel-like [ʐ] with rounded lips. One possible IPA notation would be [z̩ʷ] for ⟨ʮ⟩ and [ʐ̍ʷ] for ⟨ʯ⟩.
