U+16F07 "𖼇" Miao Letter Fa Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𖼇

U+16F07 "𖼇" Miao Letter Fa is a specific glyph from the Miao script, also known as Pollard Miao, which was historically used to write the A-Hmao and related languages of the Miao (Hmong) ethnic group in China. This character represents a phoneme within the Miao phonetic inventory, typically corresponding to an aspirated voiceless labiodental sound, akin to "F" in English but produced with a light breathy release. It is part of the Miao block in Unicode, added in version 6.1 in 2012 to support the digital preservation and written communication of this endangered indigenous script. The letter's design is a simple, angular symbol reflecting the script's creation in the early 20th century by missionary Samuel Pollard, who adapted Latin and phonetic symbols to fit the Miao languages' tonal and consonantal complexity.
