R with stroke (majuscule: Ɍ, minuscule: ɍ) is a letter of the extended Latin alphabet, derived from R with the addition of a flat bar through the middle of the letter. It should not be confused with ℞, a symbol used for medical prescriptions.
Usage
It is used in the Kanuri language, where it represents a voiced retroflex consonant sound, although the exact manner of articulation is unclear and may vary between a lateral approximant [ɭ], a lateral tap [𝼈], or a non-lateral tap [ɽ].[1]
It also appears in Tunisian Arabic transliteration (based on Maltese with additional letters).[citation needed]
Ɍ was also used in the Unified Northern Alphabet, which was based on Latin rather than Cyrillic letters because it was developed during the later-cancelled process of Latinisation in the Soviet Union. However, this character was only used within the UNA for the Aleut language.[2]
