I need the ⱱ character (prefereably with the advanced diacritic underneath it) for a phonetics paper, but the tipa package doesn't seem to contain it. I have at least one font with this character on my computer (Charis SIL). How do I get the character into my LaTeX document?
The symbol is defined as U+2C71 and the advanced diacritic as U+31F. If you want to use some special font on you system, you will have to use fontspec
and Lua- or XeLaTeX. I am showing two fonts I found on my system and the possible kerning correction, if the diacritic is not set nicely:
% arara: lualatex
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{lua-visual-debug} % for demo
\begin{document}
\setmainfont{quivira.otf}
\symbol{"031F}\symbol{"2C71} \symbol{"031F}\kern-.15em\symbol{"2C71}
\setmainfont{EBGaramond}
\symbol{"031F}\symbol{"2C71} \symbol{"031F}\kern-.12em\symbol{"2C71}
\end{document}
I had the same issue and someone answered it. Turns out you can input it as you would any Unicode character but the font needs to support it. Junicode is one such font.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Junicode} % any font that has an entry at U+2C71
\begin{document}
\char"2C71
\end{document}
