Turned H (uppercase: Ɥ, lowercase: ɥ) is an additional letter of the Latin alphabet, based on a turned form of H. It is used in the Dan language in Liberia.[1] Its lowercase form is used in the International Phonetic Alphabet to represent the voiced labial–palatal approximant. It was also historically used in the Abaza, Abkhaz, and the Vassali Maltese alphabet.
