Right, it's hard to make a screen reader understand context, but that's just a development/UX challenge.
The point of a screen reader isn't to simply declare what characters are on the screen. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to read English. The point of a screen reader is to interpret human-readable text into human-listenable sound.
How is that character typically used? Perhaps as a scientific signifier of units? Or as an insert for another letter to create emphasis? Maybe both! Can the screen reader infer the context from the surrounding text? Or perhaps it's just a rarely used symbol, and the default output should be a blip that indicates a symbol or something.
