Labialized palatal approximant

The labialized palatal approximant, also called the labial–palatal or labio-palatal approximant, is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. It has two constrictions in the vocal tract: with the tongue on the palate, and rounded at the lips. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is $\langle\rangle$, a rotated lowercase letter $\langleh\rangle$, or occasionally $\langle\rangle$, since it is a labialized.
