Ƹ (minuscule: ƹ) is a letter of the Latin script. It was used for a voiced pharyngeal fricative, represented in the International Phonetic Alphabet as [ʕ], in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, for example by John Rupert Firth and Terence Frederick Mitchell, or in the 1980s by Martin Hinds and El-Said Badawi.[1]
Although it looks like a reversed ezh (Ʒ), it is based on the Arabic letter ʿayn (ع).[1] (Unicode, however, refers to it expressly as "reversed ezh.")
