U+19A1 "ᦡ" New Tai Lue Letter High Da Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+19A1 "ᦡ" New Tai Lue Letter High Da is a character from the New Tai Lue script, which is used to write the Tai Lue language spoken primarily in the Xishuangbanna region of China, as well as in parts of Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand. This specific letter represents a high-register consonant, which in the context of the Tai Lue tonal system indicates that the syllable it begins carries a higher or more level tone class. The New Tai Lue script was developed in the 1950s as a simplification and modernization of the traditional Tai Tham script, and it is written horizontally from left to right. Like other characters in this alphabet, "ᦡ" functions as a phonetic building block for words, and its distinctive rounded shape and top-loop design help differentiate it from similar letters in the script's inventory of high and low consonant pairs.
