User notes

⟨ʳ⟩ and ⟨ʴ⟩ are obsolete as generic IPA markers of a rhotic vowel. However, especially narrow transcription of English dialects may indicate a rhotic vowel with a more-precise choice of articulation than ⟨◌˞⟩, such as ⟨ᶹ⟩, ⟨ʴ⟩ or ⟨ʵ⟩, for example [ɑᶹ], [ɑʴ] or [ɑʵ] for the phoneme /ɑ˞/.
