Description

Français : La lettre ‘eta en tahitien.

English: The ‘eta letter in Tahitian language.

Basic sans-serif style derived from the Lucida Sans font with kerning enabled. The image shows the baseline, and the letter is shown with its bounding box in blue. This supplementary letter representing the Polynesian glottal consonnant currently has no exact encoding in Unicode:

some are arguing that it should still be U+02BB MODIFIER LETTER REVERSED COMMA (possibly true for Tongan, only provisional in Hawaiian, not formally defined in Maori, false for Tahitian) ;
French official sources for Tahitian names and toponyms use often use a normal apostrophe encoded like the ASCII quote, or the left single quote preferred typographically ; unofficial sources use a spacing grave accent ;
the actual letter form in Polynesian and Melanesian languages is different and looks more like this image.
