  The bilabial ejective fricative is a rare type of consonantal sound. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ɸʼ⟩.
  
  ## Features
  
  Features of the bilabial ejective fricative:
  
  * Its manner of articulation is fricative, which means it is produced by constricting air flow through a narrow channel at the place of articulation, causing turbulence.
  * Its place of articulation is bilabial, which means it is articulated with both lips.
  * Its phonation is voiceless, which means it is produced without vibrations of the vocal cords.
  * It is an oral consonant, which means air is allowed to escape through the mouth only.
  * The airstream mechanism is ejective (glottalic egressive), which means the air is forced out by pumping the glottis upward.
