Usage
This template outputs the Ę»okina character (Ę», ʻ) used——to mark the phonetic glottal stop used in Polynesian languages such as Hawaiian and Samoan. It is also used for aspiration of Armenian, in the Wade–Giles transcription of Chinese. And for the L2/00-220 transliteration and some romanizations of the Semitic letter ayin. It does not accept any parameters.
For the "glottal stop letter in many other languages that curls the other way," use {{hamza}}. For the straight glottal-stop letter, use {{saltillo}}. For the unambiguous ayin, use {{ayin}}.
