Voiced retroflex click

The voiced retroflex click is a rare click consonant. In practical orthography, an ad hoc symbol is used for the retroflex clicks; a voiced click with a velar rear articulation is ɡ͡‼ or ɡ͜‼, commonly abbreviated to ɡ‼, ᶢ‼ or ‼̬. The implicit symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet is ɡ͡𝼊 or ɡ͜𝼊, abbreviated ɡ𝼊, ᶢ𝼊 or 𝼊̬. Linguists who prefer the old IPA letters use the analogous Doke convention of ɡ͡ψ or ɡ͜ψ, abbreviated ɡψ, ᶢψ or ψ̬. For a click with a uvular rear articulation, the equivalents are ɢ͡‼, ɢ͜‼, ɢ‼, 𐞒‼, ɢ͡𝼊, ɢ͜𝼊, ɢ𝼊, 𐞒𝼊 and ɢ͡ψ, ɢ͜ψ, ɢψ, 𐞒ψ. Sometimes the accompanying letter comes after the click letter, e.g. 𝼊ɡ or 𝼊ᶢ; this may be a simple orthographic choice, or it may imply a difference in the relative timing of the releases.
