Usage notes

• These 'reversed' tone letters are used to indicate tone sandhi. For example, ˧꜒ after a word or syllable indicates that it has a mid tone in isolation, but a high tone in the current environment.
• When this symbol occurs in combination with other tone letters, they indicate the pitch contour of the tone. For example, ꜒꜒ means a level extra-high tone, and ꜕꜖꜓ means one that begins low, then goes extra-low and ends high.
