Template:Hamza/doc

Usage
This template outputs the common character for the transliteration of hamza or glottal stop in Semitic languages, as well as orthographic glottal stop in many Latin-based alphabets, &amp;#x02BC; (, MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE), in place of the MOS-deprecated curly apostrophe. It is also used for ejective consonants in the International Phonetic Alphabet. It does not accept any parameters.

For the reversed glottal stop letter in Hawaiian and Tongan orthography, use okina. For the straight glottal-stop letter used in some Mexican languages, use saltillo. For &amp;#702; (&#702;) in technical transliteration, use rhr (right half ring). For the soft sign in Cyrillic, use either this or softsign, depending on the transliteration standard.

For a modifier letter double apostrophe (ˮ), enter manually &amp;#750;.
