Ƹ (minuscule:ƹ) is a letter of theLatin script. It was used for avoiced pharyngeal fricative[ʕ] in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, for example byJohn Rupert Firth andTerence Frederick Mitchell, or in the 1980s byMartin Hinds andEl-Said Badawi.^[1]

Although it looks like a reversedezh (Ʒ), it is based on theArabic letterʿayn (ع).^[1] (Unicode, however, refers to it expressly as "reversed ezh.")
