Now I start to wonder if the description would be "Letter for
phonetics and Japanese phonology" or "Letter for scholarly
transcription" etc.

> 1895 IPA charts and later charts) then as a “consonne fricative bronchiale
> sonore” in the 1905 and 1908 IPA charts, and in the notes after the IPA

> for example in the 1932 IPA chart or later charts.
