U+16B16 "ð–¬–" Pahawh Hmong Vowel Kab is a specific character used in the Pahawh Hmong script, an indigenous writing system created in the 20th century for the Hmong language. This character represents a vowel sound, with "Kab" being its name in the Hmong naming convention, and it forms part of a syllabary that was designed to write the Hmong Daw and Mong Njua dialects. The script is notable for its unique structure, which includes separate characters for consonants and vowels, unlike the Romanized orthography often used for Hmong today.
