U+16B1F "𖬟" Pahawh Hmong Consonant Hau is a specific symbol from the Pahawh Hmong script, an indigenous writing system invented in 1959 by Shong Lue Yang for the Hmong language. This character represents the consonant sound "hau" and is part of the script's syllabic structure, where each character denotes a consonant plus an inherent vowel or a modified vowel.
