I propose we wait until X-Sampa has a representation for it. There's no
reason to be gratuitously different. If X-Sampa chooses something
like /}\/, then sure, something different is welcome, but if they just
decide that P and v\ are no longer variants of each other, or assign V\
to it, then I think we ought to follow their lead.

v` also makes me think of a retroflex. As far as I can see, ` is only
used in retroflex sounds in CXS.
