Usage notes

  • These 'reversed' tone letters are used to indicate tone sandhi. For example, ˥꜕ after a word or syllable indicates that it has a high tone in isolation, but a mid-low tone in the current environment.
  • When this letter occurs in ligature with other tone letters, they together indicate the pitch contour of the tone. For example, means a level low tone, and ꜕꜖꜓ means one that begins mid-low, goes low and ends mid-high.
