ð–½
U+16B7D "ð–½" Pahawh Hmong Clan Sign Tsheej is a logographic symbol used in the Pahawh Hmong script, which was created in 1959 by Shong Lue Yang to write the Hmong language. This specific sign represents the clan name "Tsheej," one of several clan signs employed to denote familial lineage or social grouping within Hmong culture. Unlike phonetic letters, clan signs are distinct glyphs that carry semantic meaning, often used in ceremonial or historical contexts to identify a person's clan affiliation, and they form a unique part of the Pahawh Hmong block in the Unicode standard, which was added in version 14.0 (2021).
