R with stroke (majuscule: ÃÂ, minuscule: ÃÂ) is a letter of the extended Latin alphabet, derived from R with the addition of a flat bar through the middle of the letter. It should not be confused with , a symbol used for medical prescriptions.
It is used in the Kanuri language and Manga Kanuri language, where it represents a voiced retroflex consonant sound, although the exact manner of articulation is unclear and may vary between a lateral approximant , a lateral tap , or a non-lateral tap .
It also appears in Tunisian Arabic transliteration (based on Maltese with additional letters).
ÃÂ was also used in the Unified Northern Alphabet, which was based on Latin rather than Cyrillic letters because it was developed during the later-cancelled process of Latinisation in the Soviet Union. However, this character was only used within the UNA for the Aleut language.
