Three years ago (25 Nov. 2019), I tweeted one of my favourite revelations about glottal stops:

Let's take a moment to appreciate that there are two different vertical lines, which can represent the glottal stop /ʔ/, and they both have descriptive, diminutive names. I don't know which is cuter: the “little stick” (palochka, ⟨ӏ⟩ ) or the “little skip” (saltillo, ⟨ꞌ⟩ ).
