Unicode Version 17.0
ð–¼£
U+16F23 "ð–¼£" Miao Letter Nga is a glyph within the Pollard Miao script, an alphabet historically used to write several Hmong-Mien languages, most notably the Hmong language itself. This specific character represents the sound /Å‹/ (like the "ng" in "sing"), a common consonant in these languages. It functions as a syllabic letter in its writing system, which uses a unique system of placing vowels as diacritical marks around a central consonant letter to indicate tone, making it an essential component for accurately representing the phonetic and tonal structure of Hmong and other Miao languages in written form.
