Unicode Version 17.0
ᦧ
U+19A7 "ᦧ" New Tai Lue Letter High Xva is a glyph from the New Tai Lue script, which is used primarily to write the Tai Lue language spoken in parts of China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. This specific character represents a high-tone consonant sound, articulated as a voiceless velar fricative combined with a labial component, similar to the "xw" or "khw" sound in other languages. The New Tai Lue alphabet was reformed in the 1950s to simplify the traditional script for easier literacy, and "High Xva" is part of a set of letters that designate the tonal class of the syllable, helping to indicate the proper pronunciation in this tonal language.
