Usage notes
The character U+2980 is recommended for the click letter by Unicode and is supported by SIL fonts (e.g. proper placement of IPA diacritics). The six basic ⦀-clicks are:
Velar Uvular Voiceless ⦀̥ k͜⦀ q͜⦀ Voiced ⦀̬ ɡ͜⦀ ɢ͜⦀ Nasal ⦀̬̃ ŋ͜⦀ ɴ͜⦀
The tie bar may be omitted, or the accompanying letter may be superscripted: ⟨ᵏ⦀ ᶢ⦀ ᵑ⦀ 𐞥⦀ 𐞒⦀ ᶰ⦀⟩.
