Unicode Version 17.0
ð–¤
U+16B64 "ð–¤" Pahawh Hmong Sign Xyoo is a character from the Pahawh Hmong script, which was created in the 20th century for writing the Hmong language. This specific sign represents the word or concept of "xyoo," which means "year" in Hmong, and it serves as a tone marker or logographic element within the script's unique system of syllabic writing. The character reflects a deliberate design by its inventor, Shong Lue Yang, to distinguish tones and semantic meanings in a way that differs from the Romanized Popular Alphabet commonly used for Hmong today.
