U+16B05 "ð–¬…" Pahawh Hmong Vowel Kauv is a character from the Pahawh Hmong script, a writing system created in the 20th century to represent the Hmong language spoken by the Hmong people, primarily in Southeast Asia and diaspora communities. This specific character denotes the vowel sound "kauv," which is integral to the syllabic structure of the script, where each character combines a consonant and a vowel component.
