Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system and let $s \in S$. We call $s$ a right-angled generator of $(W,S)$ if $st = ts$ or $st$ has infinite order for each $t \in S$. We call $s$ an intrinsic reflection of $W$ if $s \in R^W$ for all Coxeter generating sets $R$ of $W$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a right-angled generator $s \in S$ of $(W,S)$ to be an intrinsic reflection of $W$.
