Encyclopedic overview

A voiced palatal plosive or stop is a type of consonantal sound in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɟ⟩, a barred dotless ⟨j⟩ that was initially created by turning the type for a lowercase letter ⟨f⟩.

If a distinction is necessary, a voiced alveolo-palatal plosive may be transcribed ⟨d̠ʲ⟩ (retracted and palatalized [d]) or ⟨ɟ᫈⟩ (advanced [ɟ], depending on the linguistic analysis of that sound. There is also a para-IPA letter ⟨ȡ⟩ that is used primarily in Sinological phonetic notation.
