⟨V˞⟩ (vowel with hook diacritic) is now standard IPA for a generic rhotic vowel.⟨Vʴ⟩ remains in use in English dialectology to indicate specific rhotic coloring in close transcription, e.g. alveolar[Vʴ] as opposed to post-alveolar[Vʵ], labiodental[Vᶹ] or uvular[Vʶ]. The obsolete IPA variant⟨Vʳ⟩ is not used in such situations (at least for English) because it would indicate that the vowel was trilled.
