Mid back rounded vowel

The mid back rounded vowel is a type of vowel sound, used in some spoken languages. While there is no dedicated symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents the exact mid back rounded vowel between close-mid and open-mid, it is normally written $\langle\rangle$. If precision is desired, diacritics may be used, such as $\langle\rangle$ or $\langle\rangle$, the former being more common. A non-IPA letter $\langle\rangle$ is also found.
