Diacritical mark
◌̹
- (IPA) Indicates a more-rounded or less-spread articulation.
Usage notes
- When the base letter descends past the baseline, the spacing diacritic ⟨˒⟩ may be used instead.
- The IPA explains the symbol as follows: "Lip position in vowels is regarded as forming a continuum from close rounded (as for Cardinal ) to spread (as for Cardinal ). the 'over-rounding' diacritic may be used to indicate a value further from 'spread' than entailed by the reference value of a symbol, for instance for a close back vowel only a little spreading, instead of completely spread as would be normal for that vowel."[1]
