U+19BB "ᦻ" New Tai Lue Vowel Sign Aay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+19BB "ᦻ" New Tai Lue Vowel Sign Aay is a combining mark used in the New Tai Lue script to represent the vowel sound equivalent to "aay" or a long "ai" in the Tai Lue language, spoken primarily by the Dai people in southern China, Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. This character is a combining vowel sign, meaning it is placed above or attached to a consonant letter to modify its pronunciation, and it is part of the New Tai Lue block in Unicode, which was added to support the modern standardized orthography of the Tai Lue alphabet developed in the 1950s. The sign depicts a curved diacritical mark that visually distinguishes the long vowel from its short counterpart and is essential for accurate representation of tonal and vowel distinctions in written Tai Lue.
