U+16F29 "𖼩" Miao Letter Ghha is a symbol from the Pollard Miao script, used historically to write the A-Hmao language and other Hmongic languages in China and Southeast Asia. This particular character represents the sound /gʰ/, a voiced aspirated velar consonant, and is part of the Miao block of Unicode, which was added to the standard in version 6.1 in 2012. The script itself was developed by missionary Samuel Pollard in the early 20th century and is notable for its unique design that combines Latin letters with indigenous influences, specifically tailored for transcribing the tonal and phonological complexities of Miao languages.
