ℹ️ About

The Latin Small Letter Turned Alpha (ɒ) is a critical IPA symbol used to represent the open back rounded vowel. In phonetics, this specific vowel sound is often referred to as the “Lot” vowel in Received Pronunciation. It is a rotated version of the script-alpha “ɑ” and must be rendered precisely to maintain linguistic meaning.

⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ɑ (U+0251 Alpha) or p (lowercase P).
