Unicode Version 17.0
ð–½›
U+16F5B "ð–½›" Miao Vowel Sign Wo is a combining diacritical mark used in the Pollard Miao script, also known as the Miao alphabet, which was historically employed to write the A-Hmao and other Miao languages spoken in southwestern China. This specific sign is appended to a consonant character to indicate the vowel sound "wo," functioning as part of the script's system for representing the tonal and phonetic nuances of these languages. The character belongs to the Miao block of Unicode, added in version 6.1, and its inclusion helps preserve and digitally support a writing system originally developed by missionaries in the early 20th century.
