The dental clicks are a family of click consonants found, as constituents of words, only in Africa and in the Damin ritual jargon of Australia. The tut-tut! (British spelling) or tsk! tsk! (American spelling) sound used to express disapproval or pity is a dental click, although it isn't a speech sound in that context.
The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents the place of articulation of these sounds is ǀ, a pipe. This may be combined with a symbol for the manner of articulation, though this is commonly omitted for tenuis clicks. Common dental clicks are:
[ǀ] tenuis dental click
[ǀʰ] aspirated dental click
[ᶢǀ] voiced dental click
[ᵑǀ] nasal dental click
[ᵑ̊ǀʰ] aspirated nasal dental click
[ǀˀ] or [ᵑ̊ǀˀ] glottalized dental click
The last is what is heard in the sound sample at right, as non-native speakers tend to glottalize clicks to avoid nasalizing them.
Prior to 1989, [ʇ] was the IPA representation of the tenuis dental click. It is still occasionally used where the symbol [ǀ] would be confounded with other symbols, such as prosody marks.

To improve performance of WHOIS service and to prevent its excessive high-volume use by a single source, we implemented a randomly generated Access Code that must be entered before running a WHOIS request.
The Access Code in the box is provided in graphics format. It has letters which are generated randomly and the symbol images are distorted. The distorted symbols cannot be read by computer programs which are used for mass-collect email addresses and any customer information. Only humans can read the distorted symbols and pass the access code.
The Access Code improves performance of our services. It prevents excessive high-volume use by a single source.
The services that require Access Codes are:
Whois – after entering the correct Access Code you can run 10 WHOIS requests before you will be prompted to enter a new Access Code.
Site Info – you can run 25 Site Info requests before you will be prompted to enter an Access Code.
Trace Route - you can run 20 Trace Route requests before you will be prompted to enter an Access Code.
RBL Check - you can run 20 RBL Check requests before you will be prompted to enter an Access Code.
What’s my IP - Access Code is not required for this service.
NOTE: We may modify Access Code policy at any time without notice on this web page.
