U+16FF1 "ð–¿±" Vietnamese Alternate Reading Mark Nhay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+16FF1 "ð–¿±" Vietnamese Alternate Reading Mark Nhay is a historical diacritic used in the Chữ Nôm script, which was the traditional writing system for the Vietnamese language before the adoption of the Latin-based Quốc Ngữ alphabet. This specific mark, often placed above or beside a Nôm character, indicates that the character should be read with an alternative pronunciation or meaning, typically a "nhay" reading which signifies a word that is pronounced similarly to its Chinese-derived origin but adapted to Vietnamese phonetics and context. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital preservation and representation of classical Vietnamese literature and documents, aiding scholars in the study of Vietnam's linguistic and cultural history.
