𐞥

1. (IPA) -onset (prestopping / preocclusion / preplosion), -release, -coloring, or a weak, fleeting or epenthetic .
2. (IPA, on a click consonant) A voiceless uvular click; specifically:

   velar dental click ⟨𐞥ǀ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ʇ⟩),

   velar alveolar click ⟨𐞥ǃ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ʗ⟩),

   velar palatal click ⟨𐞥ǂ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥𝼋⟩),

   velar lateral click ⟨𐞥ǁ⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ʖ⟩),

   velar bilabial click ⟨𐞥ʘ⟩,

   velar retroflex click ⟨𐞥𝼊⟩ or ad hoc ⟨𐞥‼⟩ (old-style ⟨𐞥ψ⟩).

   Placement after the click letter – e.g. ⟨ǂ𐞥⟩ rather than ⟨𐞥ǂ⟩, or ⟨ǂ𐞥ʰ⟩ rather than ⟨𐞥ǂʰ⟩ if aspirated, – may imply an audible uvular release.
