Unicode Version 17.0

𖾕

U+16F95 "𖾕" Miao Letter Tone-4 is a diacritical mark used in the Pollard Miao script, an alphabetic writing system developed in the early 20th century for the Miao (Hmong) languages of China and Southeast Asia. This specific character represents the fourth tone of a syllable, functioning as a combining tone mark that modifies the pronunciation of a preceding consonant and vowel sequence. The Pollard Miao script, once widely used by Miao Christian communities, is now encoded in Unicode's Supplemental Multilingual Plane to support the preservation and digital use of this unique writing system, with tone letters like U+16F95 being essential for accurately conveying the tonal distinctions that are fundamental to the meaning of words in Miao languages.
