The near-open central unrounded vowel is the most common type of the near-open central vowel, and is thus typically transcribed simply as ɐ, which is the convention used in this article. If its unroundedness needs to be specified, it can be done by adding the less rounded diacritic to the near-open central vowel symbol: ɐ̜, by combining the lowered diacritic with the open-mid central unrounded vowel symbol: ɜ̞, by combining the centralized diacritic with the near-open front unrounded vowel symbol: æ̈, or by combining the mid-centralized diacritic with either the open front unrounded vowel symbol: , or with the open back unrounded vowel: ɑ̽. The last two symbols are equivalent to the more complex symbols ä̝ and ɑ̝̈, respectively.

In some languages (such as Bengali, Cantonese or Cypriot Greek)[1][2][3] it is the only open vowel, in place of the more common open central unrounded vowel.
