0x1D60

0x1D60 is a hexadecimal notation that corresponds to the Unicode code point U+1D60. This code point lies within the Phonetic Extensions block (U+1D00–U+1D7F) of the Unicode standard and is used as a modifier letter in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and related phonetic transcription systems. The character is not a base letter; rather, it functions as a diacritic-like modifier that alters the sound value of adjacent symbols according to the transcription conventions in use. Its exact glyph and visual appearance depend on the font and rendering system being used.

In practical terms, U+1D60 is an encoded symbol that may accompany other IPA symbols to convey additional phonetic detail. Because it is a specialized modifier, display support varies by font; some fonts used for linguistic work include it, while more general fonts may render a placeholder or omit it entirely.

Technical considerations include its placement in the BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane), which means it is represented in UTF-8 with three bytes and does not require surrogate pairs in UTF-16 for most common environments. When encoding text containing this character, the standard Unicode escape form is a representation like U+1D60, and in HTML it can be written as a numeric character reference such as ᵠ (provided the document uses a font that supports the glyph).
