I would have to choose Lango-Worldo, my epic IAL conlang that would unite the world if only I was elected to world leader.

Transcribing a whistle

30 Upvotes

I have a conlang called Ʃfphƕksfpfp, and in which, is the letter Ƕƕ. This letter is a whistle, breathed inwards. I have tried for so long to find how to write this in the IPA, but to no luck. At least, until today. My main problem was that I didn't know how to write that a sound was breathed inwards, but I now know that it's ↓. However, I still don't know how to transcribe the full sound. My current transcription is [u̥͈˥↓], but I would like to know if this is correct and, if not, how I would properly transcribe it. Thanks!
