Unicode Version 17.0

𖼞

U+16F1E "𖼞" Miao Letter Ka is a specific glyph from the Miao script, also known as Pollard Miao, an alphabet historically used to write several Miao languages in China and Southeast Asia. This character represents the consonant sound "ka" and is part of the Miao block in Unicode, which was added to the standard in 2016 to support the preservation and digital representation of the Miao writing system. Visually, it appears as a complex, calligraphic symbol designed by the missionary Samuel Pollard in the early 20th century, combining Latin-like letter shapes with unique diacritics. The inclusion of this character in Unicode helps ensure that the Miao script can be used on modern digital platforms for linguistic documentation, education, and cultural expression.
