ℹ️ About
The Modifier Letter Left Half Ring (U+02BF) is a phonetic character used primarily in the transcription of Semitic languages to represent the voiced pharyngeal fricative (the Arabic letter ‘ayn). Unlike standard quotation marks, this character is a spacing modifier letter that maintains distinct typographic properties for academic and linguistic accuracy.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ʾ (U+02BE) or the standard quotation mark ‘ (U+2018).
