__NOTE:__ The IPA supports ◌̴ for velarized or pharynealized consonants. Unicode
has deprecated this combining character, while keeping the combined forms. As
such, only the combined forms are supported, using the `fzd` feature. Cainteoir
Text-to-Speech uses `vfz` for this combining character, but eSpeak NG does not
preserve the distinction between ◌ˤ and ◌̴.
