Not "as yet", but "any more".
The symbol used to be "r with long leg" (U+027C LATIN SMALL
LETTER R WITH LONG LEG), which was still in the '79 IPA chart
(as in my copy of Pullum & Ladusaw), but had disappeared by
the 1989 chart (as in my copy of Ladefoged). Presumably, the
idea was that it should be replaced by approximant /r/
(turned-r) and the "raised" diacritic (_|_) (this combination
is given as "voiced alveolar fricative" in the Diacritics
section of the '89 chart).
