◌̹

  1. (IPA) Indicates a more-rounded or less-spread articulation.

Usage notes

edit
  • When the base letter descends past the baseline, the spacing diacritic ˒ may be used instead.
  • The IPA explains the symbol as follows: "Lip position in vowels is regarded as forming a continuum from close rounded (as for Cardinal [u]) to spread (as for Cardinal [i]). [...] the 'over-rounding' diacritic may be used to indicate a value further from 'spread' than entailed by the reference value of a symbol, for instance [ɯ̹] for a close back vowel [with] only a little spreading, instead of completely spread as would be normal for that vowel."[1]
