ɋ

Translingual
Glyph origin
Symbol
ɋ
- (phonetis, rare) the forward release of a bilabial click; superseded by IPA ⟨ʘ⟩.[1]
- (phonetis, rare) the tenuis velar or sometimes uvular bilabial click, [k͜ʘ] or [q͜ʘ]
Usage notes
Technically, ⟨ɋ⟩ is only the forward clicked release, not the entire consonant. A full transcription of a click consonant requires a second letter to specify whether the rear closure is velar or uvular, and whether the click is voiced or nasal:
Velar Uvular Voiceless k͜ɋ q͜ɋ Voiced ɡ͜ɋ ɢ͜ɋ Nasal ŋ͜ɋ ɴ͜ɋ
The tie bar may be omitted, or the accompanying letter may be superscripted: ⟨ᵏɋ ᶢɋ ᵑɋ 𐞥ɋ 𐞒ɋ ᶰɋ⟩.
If the order is reversed, e.g. ⟨ɋ͜q⟩, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).
