U+16F56 "ð–½–" Miao Vowel Sign Ahh Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð–½–
U+16F56 "ð–½–" Miao Vowel Sign Ahh is a combining diacritical mark used in the Miao (Pollard Miao) script, specifically designed to represent a vowel sound in the Miao languages. It is written as a small, curved symbol that attaches to a base consonant character, altering its pronunciation to indicate the "ahh" vowel quality. This character is part of the Miao block of Unicode, which was added to support the orthography of Miao-speaking communities. Notably, its designation as a "vowel sign" means it functions as a modifier rather than an independent letter, requiring combination with a consonant to form a complete syllable.
