Unicode Version 17.0
ፏ
U+134F "ፏ" Ethiopic Syllable Fwa is a glyph representing a specific syllable within the Geʽez script, which is used to write several languages of the Horn of Africa, including Amharic and Tigrinya. This character is formed by combining the consonant sound for "f" (which corresponds to the base Ethiopic character "ፈ" or "fä") with the labiovelar glide "w," and it is classified under the Ethiopic Syllable series known as "Fwa" where the inherent vowel sound is "a." As part of the Unicode Standard, it is encoded in the Ethiopic block (U+1200 to U+137F) and is used in modern and historical texts to accurately represent the phonetic and orthographic nuances of languages that employ the Ethiopic writing system.
