Usage notes
This diacritic should only be used when a dedicated character does not exist. The following characters are not canonically equivalent to the base letters plus ⟨◌̢⟩.
A vowel letter with a hook tail is now typically the allophone of a vowel next to a retroflex consonant, but historically these letters were used for rhotic vowels.
Unicode characters with a hook tail are,
lower case:
- ᶏ, ᶐ, 𝼝, ᶗ, ɖ, ᶑ, ꭦ, 𝼙, ᶒ, ᶕ, ᶓ, ᶔ, ᶖ, 𝼚, ʅ, ɭ, ꞎ, 𝼅, ɳ, 𝼛, ɋ, ɽ, ɻ, 𝼈, ʂ, ᶘ, ʈ, 𝼉, ꭧ, 𝼜, ᶙ, ʯ, ʐ, ᶚ, 𝼊

and superscript:

In some typefaces the Karlgren letters ʅ and ʯ do not have a hook tail but rather a ⟨t⟩-like terminal curl.
