Ɯ

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Largoplazo (talk | contribs) at 22:57, 17 July 2020 (It doesn't really look like a rotated m in the upper case; it probably depends on the font. Its appearance relative to another character is immaterial anyway.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Ɯ (minuscule: ɯ) is a letter that was used in the Zhuang alphabet from 1957 to 1986 to represent the same vowel as in IPA; sometime before or in 1986, it was replaced with W.

It is also used in the International Phonetic Alphabet, to represent a close back unrounded vowel.
