Modifier letter right half ring
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Template:Infobox diacritic
The modifier letter right half ring (Template:Char) is a character found in Unicode in the Spacing Modifier Letters range (although it is not a modifier, but a standalone grapheme).[1] It is used in romanization to transliterate the Semitic abjad letter aleph and the Arabic letter hamza after it was used by The Encyclopedia of Islam (later the International Journal of Middle East Studies),[2] representing the sound Template:IPAalink (a glottal stop, as in Arabic Script error: No such module "Lang". hamza). In informal contexts, the backtick ⟨Template:Char⟩ or the apostrophe ⟨Template:Char⟩ is commonly used as a substitute; but this can lead to confusion with the modifier letter left half ring.
