The close-mid back unrounded vowel, or high-mid back unrounded vowel,[1] is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages. Its symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet is Template:Angbr IPA, called "ram's horn." This symbol is distinct from the symbol for the voiced velar fricative, Template:Angbr IPA, which has a descender, but some texts[2] use this symbol for the voiced velar fricative.

Before the 1989 IPA Convention, the symbol for the close-mid back unrounded vowel was Template:Angbr, sometimes called "baby gamma", which has a flat top; this symbol was in turn derived from and replaced the inverted small capital A, Template:Angbr IPA, that represented the sound before the 1928 revision to the IPA.[3] The symbol was again revised to be Template:Angbr, "ram's horn", with a rounded top, in order to better differentiate it from the Latin gamma Template:IPAalink.[4]

Unicode provides Template:Unichar, but in some fonts this character may appear as a "baby gamma" instead. The superscript IPA version is Template:Unichar.[5] As of Unicode Template:Unicode version, there exists a capital ram's horn at Template:Unichar Template:Angbr.
