Template:Okina
ʻ
Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]Usage
This template outputs the ʻokina character (ʻ, ʻ) used to mark the phonetic glottal stop used in Polynesian languages such as Hawaiian and Samoan.
This character (but not this template) also has other uses:
- Use {{'eta}} for the analogous mark in Tahitian (which is different visually but not in Unicode)
- Use {{fakau'a}} for the analogous mark in Tongan (which is different visually but not in Unicode)
- Aspiration of Armenian
- For the apostrophe-like character in Wade–Giles transcription of Chinese, use {{wg-apos}}
- The L2/00-220 transliteration and some romanizations of the Semitic letter ayin. It does not accept any parameters.
- For the glottal stop letter in many other languages that curls the other way, use {{hamza}}.
- For the straight glottal-stop letter, use {{saltillo}}.
- For the unambiguous ayin, use {{ayin}}.
