ℹ️ About
The Modifier Letter Half Triangular Colon (ˑ) is a critical phonetic diacritic used in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to denote half-length of a preceding vowel or consonant. Visually, it resembles a single triangular dot pointing left. It is a spacing character, meaning it occupies its own slot in a text string rather than combining vertically.
⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with · (Middle Dot U+00B7) or : (Standard Colon).
