Unicode Version 17.0
ᝁ
U+1741 "ᝁ" Buhid Letter I is a character from the Buhid script, an abugida traditionally used to write the Buhid language, spoken by the Buhid people on the island of Mindoro in the Philippines. This script belongs to the Brahmic family and is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the Buhid block, where U+1741 specifically represents the vowel sound "i". Historically, Buhid writing was used for poetry, correspondence, and legal documents, though its use has declined with the adoption of the Latin alphabet. Today, the character helps preserve the cultural heritage of the Buhid community and supports digital documentation of their language, enabling continued study and revitalization efforts.
