Is this in the System backend or Polly?
It's the system backend. I assume it works just fine in Polly.
Have you tried using d͡ʒ? The system's SSML engine might use some alternative rendition of that. There's a bunch at the top of this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_postalveolar_affricate
Yes that symbol seems to work! I also noticed that the ʤ symbol actually does work with the british voice of Hazel, but doesn't work for the US Voice David and Zira. the d͡ʒ symbol works for both British and American region voices though, so imagine it'll work with the other english regions as well.
I would suggest implementing a replacer of ʤ to d͡ʒ since it seems to work just fine. but this work around works as is, and it's fine if you don't wanna do it xD closing this either way!
I didn't communicate this, but that's why I left this issue open 🥴 I'm leaving it open until I add a replacement for it.
sounds good! sorry about that!
Fixed in v1.13.1
the proneme symbol ʤ causes the sentence not read out if it incudes the word with that symbol in the lexicon. The ʤ symbol is responsible for the hard J sound in jazz or jump
