Fourthed!

Of course, if someone decided to create a new conlang including the
labiodental flap, waiting for X-SAMPA to get around to it might no longer be
practical. In which case we would need to pick something for our use, even
while retaining the option of switching to the official X-SAMPA symbol
whenever it is created.

I don't have an objection to |v`|. The ` is, in general, used for things
that in the IPA have hooks, and the new symbol has a hook. Either |v\| or
|V\| would also be OK, but they do seem too, I don't know, mainstream for
such an exotic and rare sound.
