𝼋

  1. (para-IPA) an (oral) palatal click; superseded by ǂ.

Usage notes

Linguists who used the old IPA click letters ʇ ʖ ʗ would use 𝼋 for palatal clicks, but that letter was never officially adopted by the IPA. (The old IPA letter ʞ had presumably been intended for this purpose, but had been misanalyzed as 'velar' and never used.)

In IPA, 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:

VelarUvular
Voiceless k͜𝼋q͜𝼋
Voiced ɡ͜𝼋ɢ͜𝼋
Nasal ŋ͜𝼋ɴ͜𝼋

The tie bar may be omitted, and the accompanying letter may be superscripted.

If the order is reversed, e.g. 𝼋͜q, that may imply that the velar or uvular release is audible (delayed release).

Beach used 𝼋 for Khoekhoe oral clicks and 𝼌 for nasal clicks; there are no voiced oral clicks in Khoekhoe.
