As there is no official diacritic for compression in the IPA, the centering diacritic is used with the front rounded vowel {{IPA|[y]}}, which is normally compressed. Other possible transcriptions are {{angbr IPA|ɨ͡β̞}} (simultaneous {{IPA|[ɨ]}} and labial compression) and {{angbr IPA|ɨᵝ}} ({{IPA|[ɨ]}} modified with labial compression<ref>e.g. in Flemming (2002) ''Auditory representations in phonology'', p. 83.</ref>).
